UAMS Ranks Fourth in Education on Forbes’ Best Employers for Diversity List

For the second year, UAMS has been recognized by Forbes magazine on its Best Employers for Diversity list.

The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) ranks fourth among educational organizations nationally on an annual list of Best Employers for Diversity created by Forbes magazine. UAMS was also the highest ranked Arkansas company on the list, and the only one in the Top 100.

This is the second year UAMS has been selected for the list.

“One of the things I love most about UAMS is our diversity,” said Chancellor Cam Patterson, M.D., MBA. “Diversity and inclusion aren’t just a catchphrase at UAMS – they are an integral part of our core values and are essential to our mission.”

The rankings are based on independent surveys of more than 60,000 people in workplaces of more than 1,000 employees. They include both direct and indirect recommendations and consider both diversity in executive leadership and institutional efforts to promote diversity in the workplace.

Employees were asked to give their opinion on their employer’s general diversity as well as questions regarding age, gender equality, ethnicity, disability and LGBTQ+ issues.

“It is incredibly gratifying to be recognized for our commitment to employing a workforce that represents the people we serve,” said Danielle Lombard-Sims, Ph.D., vice chancellor and chief human resources officer.

The complete listing of Forbes Best Employers for Diversity and a full explanation of the methodology are available at forbes.com/lists/best-employers-diversity/.
