Description:
The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) is the
degree-granting institution in the Mid-America Genetics Education Consortium
(MAGEC) which includes: UAMS, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center,
University of Kansas Medical Center and the University of Nebraska Medical
Center. This unique educational consortium combines the academic and
clinical resources of four major health science universities. The curriculum
is designed to emphasize the principles of human genetics, the applicability
of related sciences to human medical genetics, the principles and practice
of medical genetics, the psychosocial, social, ethical, and legal aspects of
delivering genetic services, and the teaching skills and research methods
needed to promote the use of genetic services. The "classroom" portion of
this curriculum uses a variety of distance education methods. Interactive
video and Web-based lectures will be given both asynchronously and
synchronously, depending on the material being presented. Students will be
able to access the asynchronous portions of the curriculum via the Internet
from the various campuses as well as from home and work areas. The clinical
portion of the curriculum will take place in a face-to-face ("live") format,
at the associated clinical rotation sites found throughout the four states.
Accreditation Description:
This program has Provisional Accreditation, granted by the American Board of
Genetic Counseling (ABGC). Graduates of this Master of Science degree
program will be academically and clinically eligible to apply for Board
Certification through the ABGC. Successful completion of the program does
not itself insure such certification. Students are responsible for
familiarizing themselves with applicable certification requirements.

Description:
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.
