We are pleased to share a new video in our Spotlight on Excellence Series, an interview with Dr. Pearl McElfish. Dr. Smyth talks with Dr. McElfish about the importance of community engagement in our clinical care, research and educational initiatives across Arkansas. This commitment to truly engaging communities in UAMS activities and services that affect them – and our work with Hispanic and Marshallese communities in particular – recently earned a prestigious recognition from the AAMC, the Spencer Foreman Award for Outstanding Community Engagement. Dr. McElfish’s leadership was a major factor in UAMS receiving this national award.
