Program Overview

Juniors and seniors take hands-on, college-level classes from UNMC faculty.

The UNMC High School Alliance is an immersive experience in the health science professions where you'll get to learn from experts and practice hands-on skills.

The program, which is held during the school year, is an inside look at what it's like to be a health care provider or researcher. Courses cover a range of health care topics, such as infectious diseases, anatomy and medical decision-making taught by UNMC faculty on the Omaha campus.

You'll network with classmates from all around the Omaha metro area and form connections with world-renowned doctors, researchers and other health care providers.

Our students use their experience in the UNMC High School Alliance to set themselves apart on college applications or as a springboard to participate in other STEM enrichment programs at UNMC.
