Erin Jefferson, MD, an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry, joined the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) to establish the Women's Mental Health Program, a clinic dedicated to perinatal mental health.
Jefferson, a 2020 graduate of the UAMS College of Medicine who completed a psychiatry residency there, served as the inaugural Women's Mental Health Fellow at the UAMS Psychiatric Research Institute in Little Rock.
Jefferson is a fellowship-trained physician focusing solely on the psychiatric needs of women in their reproductive years. The Women’s Mental Health Program serves women throughout their reproductive journey — from preconception through the first postpartum year — providing comprehensive assessment and treatment for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and other psychiatric conditions that can emerge during this critical period.
Jefferson is accepting new patients.
