Courage is one of UNMC’s brand values. Tell us of a time you witnessed a person make tough decisions, have no fear in the pursuit of excellence or admit mistakes and learn from them.
We see it every day in clinical research, when people make the choice for themselves and for family members to become involved in clinical research.
