The 2026 White Coat Ceremony will recognize 176 Student Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine from the Class of 2030 and 44 Student Doctors of Physical Therapy from the Class of 2029.
The M.A.P. Program was created to help diversify the healthcare workforce by providing education, mentorship, and professional development opportunities for aspiring healthcare professionals.
As President, Dr. Blondin will provide leadership and guidance as ACHE continues its mission of educating future healthcare professionals and advancing excellence in health sciences education.
This new admissions pathway is perfect for licensed allied health professionals interested in pursuing a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree.
As ACHE’s graduates begin the next chapter of their professional journeys, many will continue serving communities across Arkansas and the surrounding region.
Parker’s vision and leadership have been foundational to the creation and growth of ACHE.
The community is invited to explore three of ACHE’s state-of-the-art facilities, meet faculty/staff & students, and learn more about how ACHE is shaping the future of healthcare in the River Valley and beyond.
ACHE is one of only two institutions in Arkansas to receive this year’s recognition, underscoring ACHE’s dedication to fostering a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for all students, faculty, and staff.
Hosted by the ACHE Center for Clinical Skills Development, the large-scale event brought together students from all programs for a full day of teamwork, competition, and hands-on learning.
The partnership creates a formal pathway for UAFS students seeking admission to ACHE’s Arkansas College of Osteopathic Medicine, School of Physical Therapy, School of Occupational Therapy, and Master of Science in Biomedicine program.
