The UNMC and Nebraska Medicine Emerging Professionals Program will wrap up the calendar year with three events.
EPP enables early and experienced professionals to grow through educational activities, engage in the community and contribute to the mission of the organization.
Since its launch back in 2017, the group has hosted numerous professional development events, given more than 690 hours back to the community and grown to nearly 650 members.
The program is open to all UNMC faculty, students and staff and Nebraska Medicine colleagues. For more information on how to get involved, check out the EPP website.
Today (Nov. 20), noon-1 p.m., membership forum via this virtual link
Hosted on a quarterly basis, the membership forums provide an opportunity for members and non-members to catch up on what the program has been doing and learn about upcoming events.
This quarter, Emily Glenn, dean of the McGoogan Health Sciences Library, and Scott Raymond, vice president and chief information and innovation officer at Nebraska Medicine, will present on “The Power of Artificial Intelligence.” During this presentation, attendees will get a better understanding of what AI is, how it’s being utilized at the med center and what the future of AI is in health care.
