UNMC allergist provides tips for those with allergies
Trees in Nebraska are pollinating in full swing this month. Grass pollen tends to begin in May or June. And ragweed will be along around Aug. 15, give or take a day or two.
For many Nebraskans that means sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy and runny noses and watery eyes.

College of Medicine Student of the Month – Amanda Dimmitt, fourth-year student
Editor’s Note: Each month, InterCOM will highlight a “Student of the Month” from the College of Medicine. Students will be featured for their participation in activities outside of medical school and for making a difference in the community. The goal is to recognize students for what they are doing and to encourage other students to get involved in the community. After all, medical school should be much more than studying.
