Application Process
To apply for the PGY1 community-based pharmacy residency program at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, follow these two steps:
- Register for the National Matching Service (NMS “The Match”)
- Apply to our program through PhORCAS
When selecting your designations in PhORCAS, you may apply to any of our sites:
- Kroger — NMS 238415
- Walmart — NMS 238421
- Harps Food Stores — NMS 238423

You will be charged only one fee from PhORCAS, even if you apply to multiple sites within our program. While you may apply to multiple sites within our program, please note that you may not receive interviews for all of the sites selected. We recommend only applying to those sites that match your overall goals for completing a residency.
UAMS College of Pharmacy is a drug-free work environment, and employees are required to complete a pre-employment drug screening.
