White Coat Ceremony and
Freshman Family Day
Our White Coat Ceremony and Freshman Family Day are specifically for incoming freshman at UAMS College of Medicine to help introduce them to the community.
Fall Fiesta
Throughout the year, the UAMS Parents Club hosts a variety of different events for students. One such event is our Fall Fiesta that is held annually by the UAMS College of Medicine Parents Club.
A New Fundraising Event coming in 2022
Our new Fundraising Event, Spring Fling will take place April 8, 2022 at the Delta Marriott in West Little Rock. Mark your calendars now!
Match Day
Match Day is an incredible moment for students attending UAMS. Essentially, Match Day helps UAMS students get paired with the right residency program.

The cap/gown cost for students is figured into their fees so the students don’t see a direct out of pocket cost unless they order something additional like an extra hood, class ring, t-shirt etc. Parents who are faculty members that plan to participate in Honors Convocation and commencement exercises may rent regalia through our Faculty Affairs center. The only expenses that families will pay this year is possibly parking.
Commencement will be at Simmons Arena (formerly Verizon) and it begins at 10:30am on Saturday morning. Students need to be there no later than 9:00am to line up. UAMS will have free student parking for the first 500 students as long as they have their cap/gown in the car so carpooling is encouraged. Security applies to graduation just as it would for any Simmons event, so travel light and come early.
The Wyndam Riverfront is offering UAMS rates for family and friends traveling in to graduation.
Graduation invitations are available through Herff Jones.
