About Dr. Assem

Clinical Biography

Dr. Sarah Assem, a native Arkansan and University of Arkansas graduate, earned her medical degree with high honors from Ross University School of Medicine in 2011. She completed her internal medicine residency at UCLA-Kern Medical Center, where she served as chief resident and received both the Chairman’s Award and the Community Service Award. Dr. Assem spent several years practicing and teaching medical students in Vancouver, Washington, first as a hospitalist and later as an outpatient internist, while holding clinical faculty roles at Washington State University and the University of Washington. She was intimately involved in the formation and accreditation of the Legacy Salmon Creek Internal Medicine Residency Program, where she served as core faculty for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Social Determinants of Health.

Returning to Arkansas in 2022, Dr. Assem joined UAMS and serves as the Program Director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program affiliated with Mercy Northwest and Veterans Health System of the Ozarks. She was honored with the 2024 UAMS Phenomenal Women Award for her advocacy in Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion as well as the UAMS Northwest Impact Award. A first-generation American, Dr. Assem is deeply committed to addressing health inequities and supporting underrepresented communities. She is passionate about mentoring future physicians and building community partnerships to foster pipeline programs that empower local youth to pursue careers in medicine with the goal of diversifying and increasing the physician workforce in Northwest Arkansas. Dr. Assem is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians.

I've already recommended Dr. Assem to friends in the area. She's one of the rare medical professionals who is truly patient and thorough - I am so comfortable bringing up any issue or concern or question. I'm never rushed or made to feel like a lower priority. She is the standard to which all other professionals should be measured.

Dr. Assem is one of the best, if not the best, physicians I have ever seen. She listens, she has a conversation with me, rather than just talking at me, and provides clear answers. I enjoy her honesty, sincerity, and she makes me feel comfortable.
