Nathaniel Pester, MD, is a new resident physician with the UNMC Department of Anesthesiology.

Why did you choose the medical field?

I wanted to be able to help people in a life-changing way to overcome or push through their illnesses in order to move toward accomplishing their goals and dreams. 

What made you choose anesthesiology?

I chose anesthesiology because of the specialty’s diverse procedures and analytical thinking that happens in an immediate manner.  

List 3 accomplishments you are proud of:

  • I have been happily married to my wife since 2022. 
  • I had the opportunity to present my research project at the ASA national conference last year.
  • I was able to serve the Lincoln, Neb. community as an EMT while I was an undergraduate student. 

Three things about you that others may not know:
