A hands-on approach, a human touch
There’s much more to a UNMC College of Medicine
education than what you read in your textbook.
Along with absorbing the basics of anatomy and
physiology, you’ll also learn how to put your skills
to work. You’ll practice how to effectively
communicate with patients. You’ll travel to a
community that really needs your help. You’ll have
a chance to work with some of the best researchers
in the world. You can study the mechanism for
cardiovascular deterioration in heart failure, work
on a vaccine for cancer or identify the
characteristics of a new strain of bacteria.
The numbers show it, too: UNMC College of
Medicine graduates average a pass rate of 96
percent on the United States Medical
Licensing Examination™.
Who will you be in four years?
We’ll help you fully explore a variety of specialties
and practices. During your third and fourth years,
you can choose from a variety of four-, eight- and
12-week clinical rotations in hospitals, clinics and
private physician offices.
Choose from a variety of
medical specialties and subspecialties including
family practice, pediatric cardiology and
transplantation surgery — to name just a few. And
along the way, you’ll be able to draw upon the
expertise of more than 350 full-time and 900 part-time
faculty members.
