The year 2024 reflected a change at the very top of UNMC’s leadership. But UNMC’s progress continued just the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New UNMC Interim Chancellor H. Dele Davies, MD, said that is according to plan. During his first campus forum as interim chancellor \u2013 stepping in for Jeffrey P. Gold, MD, after he became University of Nebraska president \u2013 Dr. Davies said he asked Dr. Gold about continuing the momentum when presented the leadership opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Davies recalled: “The first question I asked him was, \u2018Am I going to carry on the momentum we\u2019ve had here, or am I going to be a placeholder?\u2019 It was very clear that we\u2019re going to continue the momentum, and that\u2019s exactly what I intend to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As much as UNMC’s change in leadership highlighted 2024, the work at UNMC in health care education, patient care and research continued its trajectory, growing in many ways and even physically expanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a look back at UNMC’s year that was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
