In order to graduate, you must learn and master several clinical skills. These skills will be assessed at different points in your third and fourth years via clerkships, elective rotations, clinical simulation, OSCE or direct observation by faculty or residents.
There are two forms of experience that you will need to document in an online skills tracker.

- Medical Call Center - provides after hours coverage for Omaha hospitals and clinics. Call 402-559-4000 to schedule your one hour visit Monday-Friday at 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. Following the completion of the Call Center visit, you will need to document this in the SkillsTracker.
- Underserved experiences- you must have five documented experiences where you provided medical services for a defined underserved population. These experiences can be from any year of medical school. Experiences such as foreign mission trips, UNMC SHARING clinics, and federally designated underserved health centers are great examples of options. It cannot be a service that is a requirement of a core or clinical clerkship. Contact: Paul Paulman, M.D. eligibility questions.
