The UNMC and Nebraska Medicine Emerging Professionals Program will wrap up the calendar year with two events.
Since the launch of the Emerging Professionals Program in 2017, the group has hosted numerous professional development events, given back more than 680 hours to the community and has grown to 650 members. For more information on events and how to get involved, check the EPP website.
The events are:
