We remember Dr. Nicholas “Nick” Aberle as a valued member of the UNMC Orthopaedics Residency Program, graduating in 2012. Nick approached residency with focus, integrity, and a calm presence that earned the respect of his peers, faculty, and staff. He was a steady team player—hardworking, thoughtful in his clinical approach, and quietly dependable in both routine and high-pressure situations.
Nick was well-liked among his co-residents for his grounded nature and his sense of humor, which brought levity to long hours and demanding rotations. He was particularly drawn to sports medicine and pursued fellowship training following residency, but during his time at UNMC, he developed into a well-rounded surgeon committed to patient care and continuous learning. His years in our program left a strong impression, and we are proud to have been part of his professional journey.
