Medical Student
University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS)
Ashton L. Rogers, BS, is a 4th year medical student at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Growing up in Fayetteville, AR, she discovered an early love for surgery and developed an interest in human anatomy and physiology.
Ashton pursued a BS in Biochemistry at the University of Arkansas, where she further explored her interests through two medical service trips to Panama. These experiences ignited a strong interest in global surgery and solidified her commitment to medicine.
Now a medical student at UAMS, Ashton holds leadership roles, such as Vice President for the Class of 2025 and Mentorship Chair for the Women in Surgical Education (WISE) group. She recently hosted a charcuterie suturing event, demonstrating her dedication to fostering a supportive community for future surgeons.
Outside the classroom, Ashton volunteers for Respite, a program providing care for kids with special needs, as well as enjoys reformer pilates, strength training, water & snow skiing, traveling, trying local restaurants, illustrating, and training her rescue lab/hound mix. She has also illustrated two children's books. Her unique blend of artistic talent and medical knowledge fuels her interest in otolaryngologic surgery, where she hopes to combine their visuospatial skills with surgical precision.
Looking ahead, Ashton aspires to match into Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery this Spring then continue her journey in global surgery while integrating mentorship into her future medical practice.
