What Are Workforce Communities?
Workforce Communities are dedicated to supporting initiatives that engage and empower our workforce and ensure meaningful connections are created at all levels. These communities unite healthcare providers, researchers, educators, and staff members, offering a collaborative space where professionals can share knowledge, enhance their skills, and contribute to UAMS’ mission of improving health and healthcare across Arkansas and beyond.
