For example, allied health faculty were the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/2018\/08\/14\/virtual-microscopy-education-program-making-impact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">first in the nation to teach via virtual microscopy<\/a>, to educate students at 16 sites across the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first class of master\u2019s degree diagnostic cytology grads, who matriculated in fall 2022, come from all over and will get jobs all over, thanks to the expertise learned and degrees conferred at UNMC. It\u2019s all made possible through a unique program created by allied health faculty and collaboration with clinical placement locations across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(UNMC has educated post baccalaureate students in cytology since 1994 and done so via distance since 2005. In 2020, UNMC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/2020\/04\/17\/unmc-among-few-to-offer-master-of-diagnostic-cytology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">elevated diagnostic cytology to a master\u2019s-level program<\/a>, to ensure its graduates are competent to practice newly outlined competencies of the profession.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 2023 winter commencement, several of this first class of master\u2019s degree graduates came \u201chome\u201d to take part in commencement and officially receive their degrees in person at UNMC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI worked hard for this,\u201d said Emily Hodges, who often told people she was in grad school in Nebraska, while physically working at ProPath in Dallas. \u201cYou only walk across the stage once, and I wasn\u2019t going to miss it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Louis McCoy, who studied at UNMC while working from Avero Diagnostics in Bellingham, Washington, expressed similar sentiments. \u201cWith the amount of work I put into this program I wanted to celebrate,\u201d he said, while gathered at a get-to-know-you breakfast with a group of fellow distance grads. \u201cIt would feel kind of anticlimactic\u201d to simply receive his degree in the mail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter the hard work I put in, I wanted to reward myself,\u201d echoed Mai Te Xiong, who also completed the program from Bellingham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manju Mukherjee, PhD, director of the cytology program, said it was meaningful to see so many of her students in person for the first time. But what really affected her was \u201call of the guests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing the loved ones who came to support the graduates and celebrate with them, \u201cthat is very special,\u201d Dr. Mukherjee said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Mukherjee is among the UNMC faculty who have made the UNMC College of Allied Health Professions not just a historic pioneer in distance education, but at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/2023\/02\/06\/allied-health-remains-at-the-cutting-edge-of-distance-learning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">current forefront of the trends<\/a>. She and Amber Donnelly, PhD, Leuschen Professor and allied health\u2019s assistant dean for student affairs, together found ways to use technology to create and then grow one of the nation&#8217;s leading distance cytology programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was Dr. Donnelly\u2019s vision to elevate the program to a master\u2019s degree, and I have seen how hard she worked to get the master\u2019s program approved,\u201d Dr. Mukherjee said. \u201cI\u2019m just honored to have helped make the dream come true.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Mukherjee also praised cytology faculty Jillian Cascini and Sarah Sprinkle, program coordinator Nick Hanson, clinical placement locations coordinators, along with Stanley Radio, MD, emeritus professor of pathology, microbiology and immunology, the program\u2019s founding medical director, who gave the college\u2019s convocation keynote address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kyle Meyer, PhD, dean of the College of Allied Health Professions, praised the first class of UNMC cytology master\u2019s graduates for \u201cmaking history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was wonderful; it went a lot smoother than I thought it would,\u201d said Maria Munoz, who praised the distance training she got from UNMC and the expertise of the attendings she worked with at her collaborative clinical placement location at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Now she is qualified to practice at the highest levels of her profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEarning a master\u2019s degree in diagnostic cytology was a huge deal,\u201d said Calvina Tsosie, who completed the program from Carle Foundation Hospital, Urbana, Illinois, but traveled to Omaha to celebrate with family and her fellow classmates and new colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How many of them will now get better jobs and promotions, thanks to their newly attained UNMC degree?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt gives me chills thinking about it,\u201d said Tammy Webster, PhD, allied health\u2019s assistant dean for academic affairs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNMC&#8217;s first class of master\u2019s degree diagnostic cytology grads come from across the
