Seventeen UAMS College of Pharmacy seniors and nine recent alumni announced their residencies and fellowships May 14 in a ceremony held on the UAMS campus in Little Rock.

Upon completion of their Doctor of Pharmacy degree, students are able to join the workforce or continue to develop their skills in a specific area through residencies, fellowships or graduate programs. Residents further develop their professional competence beyond entry-level practice, as well as build leadership skills to improve services and patient care outcomes.

“Soon-to-be residents, we are so proud of you and the work that you’ve done, and we’re so excited to see your careers unfold,” said Cindy Stowe, Pharm.D., dean of the College of Pharmacy. “I hope that you take on these challenges with a smile and confidence that you’re learning and improving in the ability to care for your patients and make a difference in their lives. My advice is simple: stay curious, stay compassionate and stay committed to excellence.”
