About the College
The Fay W. Boozman College
of Public Health includes the shared missions of 1) meeting the public
health workforce needs for the future and 2) demonstrating how public health
approaches can address the health needs of Arkansans via model community
programs. Pilot sites for teaching and learning also serve as innovative
laboratories for new and creative approaches to old problems. Students
learn, with the expert aid of local citizens, schools, hospitals, and faith
groups about community-based health improvement.
As with other UAMS colleges,
the standards of teaching and learning are high and the resources for academic
and social life are excellent. College faculty members are engaged in
cutting-edge health research in numerous areas of societal concerns and students
are welcome as members of most investigative teams.
The Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health is
proud to be a CEPH (Council on Education for Public Health) accredited
school/program. The
Council establishes, monitors, and
periodically revises the criteria by which it evaluates graduate public
health schools and programs. CEPH's accreditation procedures requires that
the school undertake a self-evaluation, submit a self study document, and
host a team of qualified peer reviewers who validate the self study during
an on-site visit to the campus. On
July 27, 2007, the national
Council on Education for Public Health reaccredited the University of
Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health
for seven years. For a copy of the self-study report you may access
