Chydubem Nwaiwu, MD \u2013 \u201cBemz,\u201d to his friends \u2013 arrived at UNMC excited to start his residency in the medical center\u2019s nationally recognized internal medicine department.<\/p>\n\n\n

A Maryland native raised in Nigeria from the Igbo tribe, who attended the Ross University School of Medicine in Barbados, Dr. Nwaiwu was setting foot in Omaha for the first time when he arrived earlier this summer. Nevertheless, he found it a smooth transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven before I came here, I started feeling welcome,\u201d he said. \u201cThe whole process, it\u2019s easy to get confused, but Erin Snow reached out to me on multiple occasions, helping me stay on top of certain materials, so that when I got here, my transition was smooth as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each year, the UNMC Office of Graduate Medical Education onboards more than 200 new residents, who arrive in June and July. This year, 218 new house officers arrived, 49 of them matching from UNMC.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cMaking this a smooth transition goes a long way toward setting the tone for a nurturing and productive learning environment for our house officers,\u201d said Chandra Are, MBBS, associate dean for graduate medical education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Nwaiwu gives the office\u2019s effort a big thumbs-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe onboarding process has been smooth,\u201d he said. \u201cAs far as administrative aspects are concerned, we had a two-day orientation where we received a lot of information. The people are approachable; if you do not understand something, it’s very easy to reach out.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cBeing an international medical student, I\u2019ve gone into different hospitals, and I\u2019ve onboarded multiple times. This process has been seamless. Right after being matched, there were Twitter and Instagram posts from the residency program congratulating me — it made me very happy to share that with my family. Things like that really makes you feel like you’ve reached this point in your life where things are beginning to happen after spending years in the classroom for clinical training. I\u2019m grateful and humble.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another resource Dr. Nwaiwu noted? His fellow house officers who matched from UNMC.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve kind of taken the lead as far as getting us settled. It’s been a nice time,\u201d he said. \u201cThere is a sense of camaraderie with my fellow internal medicine residents as we get to know each other more, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Are commended the entire team in the GME Office for ensuring that this year\u2019s orientation occurred in a seamless fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo onboard even one new employee these days can be a chore with the evolving regulations and ongoing impact of the pandemic,\u201d he said. \u201cTo onboard more than 220 employees hailing from different cities, states and countries is a Herculean task. The administrative, regulatory, immigration\/visa and licensing tasks can be extremely labor-intensive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He credited the GME team — Erin Snow, Rachel Nelsen, Amy Guziec and Arianne Marcoux \u2013 for the success of the process. \u201cI cannot thank them enough for their dedication to our house officers.\u201d<\/p>\n SjC wSZVgu<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
