- Professionalism and a positive attitude.
- Culturally competent, person-centered care.
- Dignity, respect and belonging in every interaction.
- Commitment to this work within Nebraska Medicine and UNMC or externally in the community through volunteerism, service, outreach, mentorship or encouragement
