00:00:00.387 --> 00:00:02.970
(gentle music)

00:00:05.250 --> 00:00:08.190
Hello, I am Dr. Wendy Grant.

00:00:08.190 --> 00:00:11.032
I am the associate dean for Admissions and Student Affairs

00:00:11.032 --> 00:00:13.470
at the University of Nebraska Medical Center

00:00:13.470 --> 00:00:15.120
College of Medicine.

00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:16.650
Our main educational building,

00:00:16.650 --> 00:00:18.630
besides the hospitals and clinics,

00:00:18.630 --> 00:00:19.920
is the Michael F. Sorrell

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.590
Center for Health Science Education.

00:00:22.590 --> 00:00:25.620
This building was completed in 2008

00:00:25.620 --> 00:00:28.410
and includes classrooms, small group rooms,

00:00:28.410 --> 00:00:30.903
lecture halls, and a simulation center.

00:00:31.890 --> 00:00:34.410
On the first floor is a simulation lab,

00:00:34.410 --> 00:00:36.420
which is an 8,000 square foot facility

00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:39.720
that has 16 simulated physician office rooms

00:00:39.720 --> 00:00:41.310
that are fully equipped,

00:00:41.310 --> 00:00:44.763
two functioning hospital rooms, and an operating room.

00:00:45.999 --> 00:00:48.180
We have high fidelity simulators

00:00:48.180 --> 00:00:51.150
which augment your learning in the clinical environment.

00:00:51.150 --> 00:00:54.330
In 2020, the Davis Global Center opened,

00:00:54.330 --> 00:00:55.680
which offers a large array

00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:58.110
of high technology learning tools,

00:00:58.110 --> 00:01:01.230
including 3D and virtual reality,

00:01:01.230 --> 00:01:03.120
anatomy dissection rooms,

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:06.423
mock operating suites, and advanced simulation.

00:01:07.590 --> 00:01:09.270
Students from all four years

00:01:09.270 --> 00:01:12.450
have access to the Davis Global Center

00:01:12.450 --> 00:01:14.880
and have educational activities there.

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:16.950
They also have the opportunity to help develop

00:01:16.950 --> 00:01:20.580
new educational modalities for future use.

00:01:20.580 --> 00:01:22.530
The Sorrell Center is conveniently located

00:01:22.530 --> 00:01:25.200
less than a five minute walk from Nebraska Medicine,

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.630
which is our main clinical partner.

00:01:27.630 --> 00:01:29.280
Some of the other clinical training sites

00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.350
that will be integral to your education,

00:01:31.350 --> 00:01:33.060
include Children's Hospital

00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:35.010
and the Veterans Administration Hospital,

00:01:35.010 --> 00:01:36.210
which are both in Omaha.

00:01:37.080 --> 00:01:38.880
During some of the required clerkships

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:40.770
and elective experiences,

00:01:40.770 --> 00:01:44.103
you will be learning outside of Omaha in rural communities.

00:01:45.570 --> 00:01:47.820
One of the most important areas in the Sorrell Center

00:01:47.820 --> 00:01:50.700
is the office of our student wellness advocate.

00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:52.830
We pride ourselves on placing your wellness

00:01:52.830 --> 00:01:53.883
at the forefront.

00:01:54.750 --> 00:01:57.270
The library is located in Wittson Hall,

00:01:57.270 --> 00:02:00.093
which is just across the street from the Sorrell Center.

00:02:01.350 --> 00:02:03.570
Electronic resources and study spaces

00:02:03.570 --> 00:02:06.960
are available to all members of the UNMC community,

00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:09.213
including you as medical students.

00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:11.670
In the student life building

00:02:11.670 --> 00:02:14.970
the Center for Healthy Living is available to you.

00:02:14.970 --> 00:02:17.760
This facility includes cardio and aerobic equipment,

00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:19.950
free weights and machines.

00:02:19.950 --> 00:02:23.070
Group fitness classes such as yoga and indoor cycling

00:02:23.070 --> 00:02:24.513
are also available.

00:02:25.710 --> 00:02:26.970
As the campus has grown

00:02:26.970 --> 00:02:29.670
the importance of maintaining green space and open areas

00:02:29.670 --> 00:02:32.373
for our students and faculty has been emphasized.

00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:34.380
We recognize, again

00:02:34.380 --> 00:02:36.720
that it's important to balance your educational obligations

00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:39.000
with community engagement and learning opportunities

00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:40.263
outside of the classroom.

00:02:41.430 --> 00:02:42.930
A prime example of this

00:02:42.930 --> 00:02:44.730
is the student-run clinic

00:02:44.730 --> 00:02:48.123
where patients have access to free multidisciplinary care.

00:02:49.410 --> 00:02:52.110
Our medical students run the clinic,

00:02:52.110 --> 00:02:54.840
recruit the student providers, fundraise

00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.153
and change the scope of the clinic every year.

00:02:58.500 --> 00:03:00.840
Mission trips, which are student organized

00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.290
and led by faculty, sends students to many places

00:03:04.290 --> 00:03:05.193
around the world.

00:03:06.030 --> 00:03:09.750
Our enhanced medical educational tracks, the EMETs,

00:03:09.750 --> 00:03:12.000
these are programs that allow many of our students

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:13.590
to augment their medical education

00:03:13.590 --> 00:03:17.970
by longitudinally immersing themselves in fields of study

00:03:17.970 --> 00:03:19.920
such as underserved healthcare,

00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:23.150
preventative medicine, humanities in medicine,

00:03:23.150 --> 00:03:27.273
autoimmune diseases, and clinical educators to name a few.

00:03:28.950 --> 00:03:30.930
Research opportunities abound

00:03:30.930 --> 00:03:32.220
and our students have opportunities

00:03:32.220 --> 00:03:34.203
to partner with anyone on the faculty.

00:03:35.100 --> 00:03:37.020
We pride ourselves on graduating

00:03:37.020 --> 00:03:39.450
knowledgeable and well-rounded physicians

00:03:39.450 --> 00:03:41.520
who are very prepared for the next stage

00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:43.740
of their medical education.

00:03:43.740 --> 00:03:47.250
We believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion

00:03:47.250 --> 00:03:49.380
are keys to creating an environment

00:03:49.380 --> 00:03:52.429
where you can achieve your goals and reach your dreams.

00:03:52.429 --> 00:03:55.012
