What is your best memory from your time at UNMC?

My best memory from UNMC is when I had the opportunity to go to the 2010 International Student Research Forum held in Beijing. I made friends with students across multiple disciplines from UNMC and internationally.

Our four brand values are leadership, commitment to excellence, working together and being a trusted resource. Pick one and tell us a time you witnessed it embodied at UNMC.

Working Together. UNMC provides students from across various health professions opportunities to work together. Experiences that allow us to work together inside and outside our own disciplines prepare us for our careers. An example of an opportunity that UNMC provides for students is the 2011 Interprofessional Experience (IPE) Day. Students from all UNMC colleges came together and discussed issues regarding the alleviation of health disparities.
