Becerra named co-chair for Cornerstone Nebraska/Iowa Users Group

Lesly Becerra, instructional designer in the Office of Health Professions Education (OHPE), has been named as one of two co-chairs for the Cornerstone Nebraska/Iowa User Group.

Cornerstone is the vendor for the med center’s learning management system, Apollo. Becerra played an integral part in the implementation of Apollo approximately three years ago and has continued to be a leader in making Apollo successful for UNMC/Nebraska Medicine colleagues, and for colleagues in Grand Island, Lincoln and other rural areas.

“Her commitment to learning new process flows and best practices has allowed her to optimize the system based on organizational and end-user need,” said Frank Pietrantoni, director, OHPE. “Lesly has been able to assist subject matter experts in converting completely manual processes to more efficient and reliable electronic processes in Apollo.”

“I have attended user group meetings between Nebraska and Iowa for the past several years. It is a great way to network with other clients of Cornerstone, share ideas and discuss issues,” Becerra said.

“We are an organization that wants to lead the way and I believe we have done this by exhibiting our mission of leading the world through premier educational programs. I see proof of this in our quarterly meetings. Other clients are always in awe of how we have made this system work for us. I am always proud to show off how far we have come and I am honored to be recognized.”
