She was 76. Colleagues say Manners was dedicated to experiential learning and student well-being and recalled her ready smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMary was one of our faculty educators when I was a resident,\u201d said Jeff Harrison, MD, chair of UNMC\u2019s Department of Family Medicine. \u201cShe was dedicated to improving patient-centered care by making students and residents better communicators.&nbsp;She was innovative and committed to making UNMC a leader in medical education.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manners moved away from residency education in the early 90s, Dr. Harrison said, to a student-focused role and was instrumental in developing UNMC\u2019s long-standing Integrated Clinical Experience, of which many elements still are used today.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Kentucky native, Manners earned a Master of Public Health from the University of Missouri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funeral services and a celebration of life will be announced later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
