What to Expect on Orientation Day
Orientation Day is your official welcome to UAMS. You will learn about our mission, vision, and core values, and UAMS leaders will share their goals for the future of the organization. During the day, you will also learn about:
- your employee benefits and wellness programs
- Human Resources services and important UAMS policies
- educational sessions
- information specific to your campus, if this applies to you
You will have several opportunities to participate in team-building activities with other new employees as you learn about UAMS CARES.
