Find us on Facebook! UAMS Women’s Faculty Development Caucus
Mission
To inspire, encourage and enable women health providers and scientists to realize their professional and personal potential and goals.
Background and Goals
The Women’s Caucus was founded in 1989 as a professional development and mentoring program to help women advance their career and assume leadership positions. Our professional development efforts have resulted in an expanding organization that addresses the needs of all UAMS faculty members. We provide leadership training, mentoring/advising, faculty handbook publications, faculty development, and networking opportunities. The Caucus Committees, lead by rotating chairs and co-chairs, are pathways to leadership and provide the energy and effort behind WFDC activities.
