Talk about your job and what you like best about it:

Being a part of getting a brand new residency off the ground as a coordinator has been an awesome experience. I love being the person students/residents/fellows turn to when they need something. Although I have only been in this role just over a year, it has been such a great experience getting to know these learners. As the interim UME coordinator for the UNMC Department of Psychiatry, I have learned the ins and outs of medical education. The students are so eager to complete their clerkship or electives. It is exciting knowing some of the students who rotate with us could potentially end up in our residency program!
