Greetings,
As our students immerse themselves in the hard work of preparing for careers in nursing, they’re gaining a better understanding of what it will take to provide high-quality care to their patients. The foundation of knowledge that they’ve built so far will serve them well in the next phases of their training.
In these pages, you’ll see that the UAMS College of Nursing’s impact extends far beyond the classroom. Through research and clinical practice, our students and faculty members are advancing the nursing profession in ways that will improve the quality of life for all Arkansans.
UAMS continues to receive recognition as one of the nation’s best educational institutions for aspiring nurses, placing among the top 100 in U.S. News & World Report’s annual rankings of undergraduate and graduate nursing programs. If you’ve ever seen the College of Nursing’s faculty and staff in action, then you know that these accolades are well-deserved.
I want to thank Dean Cowan and her entire team for maintaining a standard of excellence in the College of Nursing.
Sincerely,
Cam Patterson, M.D., MBA
UAMS Chancellor
CEO, UAMS Health
