Schnaubelt\u2019s longtime friend, U.S. Army Col. Tatjana Calvano, acted as master of ceremonies for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Col. Schnaubelt said she initially joined the Air Force with the goal of flying jets, before a mission trip to Haiti set her on a new path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI recognized the immense poverty and what impact medicine, and public and global health, can have in improving the lives of others,\u201d she said. \u201cI sold my parachute and started going to medical school, and I couldn&#8217;t be happier with that choice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also thanked her team and med center colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThank you for being here and continuing to press toward this mission,\u201d she said. \u201cEvery member of our team brings something unique, important and special, and I want to thank you. I know it&#8217;s been a rocky road along the way, and I am certain there will be more bumps and growing pains, but we couldn&#8217;t ask for better partners along this journey.

Elizabeth Schnaubelt, MD, said.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Col. Schnaubelt also thanked her UNMC and Nebraska Medicine colleagues for their tremendous support of the C-STARS Omaha mission. C-STARS Omaha is a training program through the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine, or USAFSAM, in collaboration with UNMC. USAFSAM is headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, and is part of the Air Force Research Laboratory\u2019s 711th Human Performance Wing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members of her team and the iEXCEL program also arranged for Col. Schnaubelt to receive a holographic message of congratulations from her supervisor, Col. Leslie Wood, chair of the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine Department of En Route Care Training, following the ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chris Kratochvil, MD, Distinguished Chair for the Global Center for Health Security and interim vice president for external relations for the University of Nebraska System, said he was proud to see Col. Schnaubelt recognized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe&#8217;s an amazing partner who has developed not only an incredible team but has created a synergy in our work with the Global Center for Health Security and set the standard for partnerships between academia and the military,\u201d Dr. Kratochvil said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dossy Felts, GCHS associate director of administration and operations, called Col. Schnaubelt a huge champion of the collaboration between the Air Force and the GCHS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe&#8217;s built a great team here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UNMC Interim Chancellor Dele Davies, MD, congratulated Col. Schnaubelt on her promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDr. Schnaubelt is a caring physician and a dedicated officer,\u201d he said. \u201cHer work in Nebraska and beyond, as both a doctor and a leader, has helped countless people, made our country safer and, through our collaborations and trainings, allowed UNMC and Nebraska Medicine to play a role in protecting the military doctors and nurses who care for the men and women serving our country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jim Linder, MD, CEO and Board Chair of Nebraska Medicine, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCol.\u00a0Schnaubelt\u2019s promotion is a reflection of the excellence she\u2019s achieved in her military and medical career. Her leadership is a vital element of the important partnerships that allows Nebraska Medicine and UNMC to have an impact across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Col.&nbsp;Schnaubelt joined the UNMC and Nebraska Medicine team in 2018, when she was assigned as the inaugural director for C-STARS Omaha. The program\u2019s mission is to advance the readiness skills and competency of U.S. Air Force medical personnel so they can provide safe and effective care for patients who have contracted or may have been exposed to highly hazardous infectious diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to her significant responsibilities as the C-STARS Omaha director, Col. Schnaubelt maintains a clinical role attending on the orthopedic infectious diseases services in the UNMC Division of Infectious Diseases, participating in the clinical and educational missions of UNMC. As a scholar of the UNMC Global Center for Health Security, Col. Schnaubelt leverages her experience in infectious diseases and military medicine to closely collaborate with GCHS and UNMC, driving biopreparedness training and global health security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SchnaubeltPromotion1030725-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-120218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SchnaubeltPromotion1030725-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SchnaubeltPromotion1030725-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SchnaubeltPromotion1030725-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SchnaubeltPromotion1030725-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SchnaubeltPromotion1030725-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SchnaubeltPromotion1030725-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Col.
