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.
I chose the medical field because I had a significant injury during my first year of undergraduate studies and was in/out of the hospital and doctor’s office for several months. It was an important time for me and I wanted to make a similar impact on others as a doctor!
I felt like the fast-paced and quick decision-making nature of anesthesiology matched perfectly with my personality. The people in the specialty were all very welcoming and I decided that it was the best fit!
List 3 accomplishments you are proud of:

- Lastly, I’m extremely proud of matching at UNMC in anesthesiology!
