During his visit, Clare met with UNMC’s top administrators as well as Glenn Fosdick, president and CEO of The Nebraska Medical Center. He also heard presentations on UNMC’s international programs, its regenerative medicine initiative, its use of personalized medicine in treating patients and new developments in radiation oncology.
He wound up his tour by meeting with seven students involved in UNMC’s SHARING Clinics, which provide low-cost care to underserved people. SHARING stands for Student Health Alliance Reaching Indigent Needy Groups.
The students were joined by Audrey Paulman, M.D., and Paul Paulman, M.D., two UNMC family medicine physicians who are actively involved in the SHARING Clinics.
After hearing the students’ excitement with the SHARING Clinics, Clare said, “The thing that’s impressive about the medical center is — as Hal Maurer (UNMC chancellor) says — that it has a 500-mile wide campus.”
He encouraged the students to take every opportunity they can to reach out to communities across Nebraska.
