Special Features & Unique Opportunities
Jonesboro is unique in that most of our surrounding communities are rural but our city is not. This provides a wide range of health disparities at our Family Medicine clinic as well as our partner hospital. Our community also provides a all encompassing educational experience which requires no away rotations to complete your core requirements.
