Our Mission
The mission of the Division for Academic Pathways and Workforce Partnerships (APWP) is to create and strengthen academic pathways and develop strategic workforce partnerships across the state that broaden access to UAMS’ academic programs and increase the health care workforce. APWP will collaborate with UAMS academic programs to ensure that all Arkansans have access to STEM educational opportunities, with a keen focus on cultivating and training health care professionals. The division will also partner with entities across the state, including nonprofit organizations and educational institutions, to develop strategies, programs and initiatives that support the strategic academic access and workforce development goals of UAMS.
