Tell us about what you do here at UNMC:

Accountability is one of UNMC’s ITEACH values. Tell us of a time you witnessed a person or group at UNMC exhibit this value.
Since before I started here, our department has been working on implementing new educational experiences and opportunities while simultaneously revamping several of our current offerings. Everyone’s been working diligently to ensure what we’re looking to implement is both feasible and beneficial, adjusting the scope and content as it’s discussed.
