UAMS Graduates 931 New Health Care Professionals
| LITTLE ROCK — The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) awarded certificates and degrees today to 931 graduates of its five colleges and graduate school during its commencement ceremony at Verizon Arena in North Little Rock.
Diplomas were presented to 157 in the College of Medicine; 260 in the College of Nursing; 111 in the College of Pharmacy; 58 in the Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health; 91 in the Graduate School and 254 in the academic programs that make up the College of Health Professions.
During the ceremony, UAMS Chancellor Dan Rahn, M.D., presented the Chancellor’s Award to M. Joycelyn Elders, M.D. Elders was the 15th U.S. Surgeon General (1993-1994) and the first African-American, the second woman and the only native Arkansan to hold that honored position.
Elders graduated from the University of Arkansas, School of Medicine (now UAMS College of Medicine), and today serves as UAMS Distinguished Professor of Health Policy and Management and UAMS Professor Emeritus of Pediatric Endocrinology.
She served as director of the Arkansas Department of Health from 1987-1993, and during her tenure she nearly doubled childhood immunization rates, expanded the state’s prenatal care program, and increased home-care options for the chronically and terminally ill.
Today, she continues to urge citizens and governmental leaders to do more to advocate for adult, adolescent and child health promotion.
During commencement, degrees and certificates conferred include the doctor of philosophy, doctor of medicine, doctor of pharmacy, master of science, master of nursing science, bachelor of science in nursing, master of public health, doctor of public health, certificate in clinical and translational science, master of health services administration, post baccalaureate certificate in public health and a variety of degrees in allied health disciplines including certificates, associate and bachelor of science degrees, post-baccalaureate certificates, the master of imaging sciences, master of physician assistant studies and doctor of audiology.
The following are graduates of the five UAMS colleges and graduate school who authorized the release of their name and hometown. Graduates are divided by college and hometown unless otherwise noted.
