🎓 MASH Week 2, Day 10 – Graduation Day! 🎓

This morning, our incredible MASH students arrived for one final day of learning, reflection, and celebration. Over the past two weeks, they’ve explored healthcare through shadowing experiences, tours, guest speakers, and hands-on activities — and today was the perfect capstone to an unforgettable journey!

The day began with an exciting suture lab led by Dr. Ross Halsted of NARMC Primary and Obstetrical Care. Students learned and practiced common suturing techniques under his expert guidance — thank you, Dr. Halsted, for sharing your time and skill!

Next, students received valuable insight into preparing for college, followed by a time of reflection where they shared their favorite experiences and lessons learned throughout the program.

Donna Boehm, MSN, RN and NARMC Chief Nursing Officer, wrapped up the morning with an inspiring message of encouragement from the leadership side of healthcare.

Finally, each student received a diploma and special gifts from NARMC and UAMS — along with some sweet treats provided by the NARMC Marketing Department. 🍪

It was a bittersweet moment for our Education Department. These bright young minds brought energy, curiosity, and compassion every day — and while we’re sad to see them go, we’re filled with hope knowing they represent the future of healthcare.

To the MASH Class of 2025: we are so proud of you! Thank you for letting us be part of your journey. Go out and change the world — one patient at a time. 💙

Special thanks to all our sponsors — we couldn’t have done it without you!
