What impressed you positively?

"UAMS has some great facilities. They are really focused on making great doctors (and researchers which is a huge plus for MD/PhD applicants =). They allow you to interact with standardized patients in the first year of school, and from what I understand you may request a standardized patient at any time if you would like to gain additional experience or practice before an exam."
