About 150 medical students and pre-med students from seven states attended the annual Student National Medical Association (SNMA) Region III Medical Education Conference Nov. 10-12 at the Wyndham Riverfront Hotel in North Little Rock.

It was the first time that the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Medicine, home to the Edith Irby Jones chapter of the national organization, hosted the event. Held in a different city each year, the regional event brings together medical students and pre-med students to learn about opportunities and pathways, hear inspirational speakers, network with members from other states and form long-lasting connections.

The other states in Region III are Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.

The launch of the unit was announced at a press conference today at the Burgundy Hotel in Little Rock. The UAMS-led program is managed by the Arkansas Rural Health Partnership (ARHP) with support from the Community Health Centers of Arkansas (CHCA).

The purpose of the mobile training facility is to visit schools in rural communities to increase understanding, awareness, interest and connection to health career opportunities.
