Clint Akin, D.O. was born into a military family in Seoul, South Korea. Clint followed in his father’s footsteps by starting his early career as a combat medic with the United States Army (2006-2011). Upon returning to the U.S., he completed a bachelor of science degree in biology at the University of Central Arkansas (2014) and then followed with a doctorate in osteopathic medicine from the New York Institute Of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine at Arkansas State University (2020). He completed his residency in Pine Bluff, Arkansas (University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences at South Central Family Medicine Residency), giving him extensive first-hand training in family medicine within the rural setting. His varied experience and training in global, rural, emergency, and family medicine has uniquely prepared him to serve rural families as a compassionate, understanding, and adept physician.

Dr. Akin is board-certified in Family Medicine and holds certifications in Advanced Trauma Life Support, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, and Pediatric Advanced Life Support. His colleagues would describe him as a kind, empathetic, and hard-working family man. Dr. Akin hopes to leave a legacy of emphasizing the values of compassion, empathy, and lifelong learning within a medical practice. He looks to promote the importance of preventive measures and early detection to reduce the prevalence of chronic diseases and improve community health.

When Dr. Akin is not at work, he enjoys spending time with his wife (also a healthcare provider) and three children. You can often find him at the local ballpark cheering on his kids or enjoying time outdoors with his family.
