These questions help them to step into a patient’s shoes.” Learn what a whole health approach to care can look like in practice from Alice L. Walton School of Medicine Founding Dean and CEO Sharmila Makhija MD MBA in the latest Talk Business & Politics. Read the full article (page 4): https://lnkd.in/eQUy7PEH

Alice L. Walton School of Medicine faculty and staff once again joined the local community at Scott Family Amazeum’s 2025 Fun Patch Night for Girl Scouts. The event, featuring nearly 20 special pop-up exhibits from community partner organizations, welcomed more than 200 Girl Scouts - Diamonds of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas. The #AWSOM team helped scouts explore the intricateness of the human body through hands-on exploration of bone molds.

Think-and-do-tank Heartland Forward’s "The Economic Contributions of Medical Residencies to Arkansas" report estimates that adding 275 new residents to the state by 2030 could lead to an additional $482,000 in economic activity per medical resident per year, for a total of $465 million.

This morning, we released a new report titled “The Economic Contributions of Medical Residencies to Arkansas.” Our research found expanding Arkansas's medical residency programs could generate $465 million in economic activity while addressing the state’s growing physician shortage. "Arkansas is at a critical juncture—without more medical residencies, we risk facing a significant physician shortage," said Chairman and CEO Ross DeVol "Expanding these programs will not only attract top medical talent, but also create a lasting economic engine for the state." Key findings include: ?A per-resident contribution of $482,000 in economic impact to the state ?A 4x ROI on the initial cost of expanding residency programs ?An improvement in Arkansas’ health and wellness ?A $54/worker increase in overall productivity ?A relationship between stronger medical education and strong state health infrastructure Learn more in the report, linked below:? https://lnkd.in/eudk7XSU
