Meet the matches: Nathaniel Pester

The UNMC 2024 Match Day celebration was held at the Scott Conference Center at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, where eight out of 140 medical students at UNMC opened their envelopes and found they had matched to the UNMC Department of Anesthesiology.

Why did you choose the medical field?

I wanted to be able to help people in a life-changing way to overcome or push through their illnesses in order to move toward accomplishing their goals and dreams. 

What made you choose anesthesiology?

I chose anesthesiology because of the specialty’s diverse procedures and analytical thinking that happens in an immediate manner.
