Distance Education
NOTICE: State Authorization of Distance Education and Clinical Placement
Students enrolling in a distance education program who are not residing in Arkansas as well as students who are going to a state other than Arkansas for clinical experience must have prior approval from that state’s higher education agency. Federal Program Integrity standards require UAMS to gain this approval. Fortunately, Arkansas along with many other states have joined the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA). Members of the SARA provide automatic approval to other member states to “operate” in that state. More information on state authorization for distance education to include out-of-state clinical placement of students can be found at http://academicaffairs.uams.edu/state-authorization-of-distance-education/.
Should you have any questions regarding state authorization or the SARA, please contact Dr. Tina Maddox, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at (501) 686-5730 or at tmaddox@uams.edu.
NOTICE: Professional Licensure
Applicants who are applying to programs leading to licensure in states other than Arkansas must be aware of the various state professional licensure requirements. Please check licensure requirements by state at CareerOneStop.
