Events to Give You Experience

We offer workshops and seminars throughout the year designed to expand your professional abilities. Each event and program focuses on skill advancement that will help you both in and out of the classroom. Getting involved in these activities can bolster you with an extra edge for present and future professional ventures, regardless of the career you choose. Some example events include:

• Professional Skills Lunch & Learns focused on career development, communication, critical thinking, organizational skills
• Interprofessional Education (IPE) day, with a goal of combining traditional health care students with disease-research focused students.
• Breaking Barriers seminars, which allows international students to share information about their homeland with their fellow UNMC students, including addressing misconceptions

We also partner with the Office of Postdoctoral Education, which allows graduate students to participate in postdoctoral workshops and seminars when space is available. Some of the topics they cover include:

• Public speaking
• Grant writing
• Scientific writing
• Teaching skills
