The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Medicine invested Ashley Norse, MD, a professor and chair in the Department of Emergency Medicine, in the Stanley E. Reed Professorship in Emergency Medicine, Trauma, and Injury Prevention during an Aug. 7 ceremony.
“This endowment will support research, education, and outreach efforts that aim to improve trauma care and injury prevention across our state,” said Norse. “It will help us train the next generation of emergency physicians and trauma physicians, develop new strategies to save lives, and to ensure the values that Stanley Reed championed — leadership, integrity and dedication to community — will remain at the heart of our mission.”
Norse also serves as the clinical service chief for Emergency Medicine at the UAMS Medical Center.
Norse earned a medical degree from Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. She completed a residency at the University of Florida College of Medicine Jacksonville and completed a fellowship in healthcare policy at the University of Florida.
