Our Impact

The Office of Community Engagement was established in 2015 to expand and improve our engagement with the Nebraska community. Through the efforts of a dedicated interprofessional team of faculty and staff, UNMC is designated a Community Engaged Campus by the Carnegie Foundation, one of four medical schools and the first health professions university in the nation to be so designated.

This impactful designation is a shining symbol of UNMC's efforts to design education congruent with the needs of our greater community through engagement and mutually beneficial partnerships.
