One Husker fan, three Hawkeyes fans — and an undecided? |
List some accomplishments that you are proud of:
Our graduates can provide emergency medicine in any environment, including urban, rural and academic medical centers. The comradery we have with our faculty and residents is everlasting.
Tell us three things about you that others may not know:
- I live in a split household. I am a loyal Husker fan, but wife and children are Hawkeye fans.
