Health Education for the Greater Good
We train more health professionals than any other institution in the state. You'll find high-quality instruction through nearly 40 academic departments, nearly 70 residency and fellowship programs and continuing education courses that enhance your knowledge and skills — ultimately improving patient outcomes and community health.
We are exanding our reach across the state and, for the first time, will educate physicians, pharmacists and public health professionals in rural Nebraska, through a joint project with the University of Nebraska at Kearney that also will expand UNMC's allied health and nursing programs.
