"It is challenging to imagine a program more dedicated to both academics and clinical experience than that at UNMC. The faculty are extremely supportive and committed to the success of each individual student. I look forward to applying the knowledge I have learned, and will continue to learn with the skills UNMC has provided me." --Former student, Katie Messer (Class of 2011) about our program
