Nebraska LEAD fellows visit UNMC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fellows in the Nebraska LEAD Program visited UNMC March 1-2 for a tour of the campus and presentations by some of UNMC\u2019s health professions experts. The LEAD Program, organized through the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, has worked to develop agricultural leaders in the state for more than 40 years.<\/p>\n\n\n

The current class toured the Durham Research Center, Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center and the Davis Global Center. Chris Kratochvil, MD, UNMC’s vice chancellor for external relations, welcomed the group and provided an overview of UNMC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fellows also met with Ellen Duysen, coordinator of UNMC\u2019s CS-CASH (Central States Center for Agricultural Safety and Health) program; Ann Anderson Berry, MD, PhD, professor of pediatrics and director of the Child Health Research Institute; and Marley Doyle, MD, associate professor of psychiatry and director of the Behavioral Health Education Center of Nebraska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terry Hejny, PhD, director of the Nebraska LEAD Program, said the annual visit to UNMC improves the fellows\u2019 understanding of the importance of health care in both rural and urban communities, offers them an increased awareness of UNMC\u2019s mission and updates the fellows on recent developments in health care and the implications for quality of life in Nebraska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe tours and robust interactive discussions engaged in by LEAD fellows provides them the necessary tools needed as a leader in agriculture, in their community, and beyond,\u201d Dr. Hejny said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
