UNMC Students Train in Communities across Nebraska

University of Nebraska Medical Center students are working with health professionals across Nebraska as part of their health care education requirements. From June through August, students will be participating in rural rotations, which are part of the UNMC Rural Health Education Network (RHEN), an innovative program developed to help address the shortage of health professionals in rural Nebraska.

 

The students represent the College of Medicine, College of Pharmacy, College of Dentistry, and the School of Allied Health Professions.

 

The RHEN program was developed to expose students to a rural health setting with the idea that if students receive their training in a rural area, the chances are greater they may consider returning to a rural area once they complete their training.
