Clinical Rotation Information

Housing is rarely required for clinical rotations due to the availability of placements through UAMS regional programs. Students are encouraged to maintain housing in the Little Rock area throughout their clinical education. On occasion, a student may incur temporary housing costs when assigned to a distant clinical site; these costs are typically limited to short-term accommodations such as a hotel stay, with an estimated cost of approximately $3,100 for 4.5 weeks in an average hotel in Camden, Arkansas.

Additional information is available on the UAMS Student Financial Services Website, including Cost of Attendance Student Budgets.
