What is your best memory from your time at UNMC?

My best memory at UNMC is when I met this wonderful patient last semester and all her family members. They were very appreciative of the care I gave to their mother. I will never forget when my patient and her relatives said they wanted to “take me home” because they thought I was good at what I do. I was proud of myself after I heard that, I felt like I was doing something right for them to notice it.

Our four brand values are leadership, commitment to excellence, working together and being a trusted resource. Pick one and tell us a time you witnessed it embodied at UNMC.

I am always proud that I have the UNMC patch on my uniform because I know that we are known for commitment to excellence and leadership. Our faculty members and students are among the best in the region. I have witnessed how students and instructors work together in helping each other to give a quality care for their patients. Great teamwork!
