It\u2019s smaller in scale, but equivalent in terms of quality and experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The $95 million building is the second major UNMC facility on the UNK campus and, together with the original Health Science Education Center that opened in 2015, forms the Douglas A. Kristensen Rural Health Education Complex. While each building has unique learning spaces and functions, all students will use both facilities as part of an interprofessional model that emphasizes team-based care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe goal is to train our students together in an interprofessional manner, so they learn about each other\u2019s professions,\u201d Dr. Meyer said. \u201cWhen they get into practice, they\u2019ll be better equipped to provide team-based care. We know that team-based care provides better quality for patients and better satisfaction for providers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Simulation-tools-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-129144\" style=\"width:429px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Simulation-tools-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Simulation-tools-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Simulation-tools-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Simulation-tools-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Simulation-tools-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Simulation-tools-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Touring students pass by some of the educational simulation tools that will be used at the new building.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The new facility is already being used during a phased move-in, and it\u2019s expected to be fully operational by May, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony planned for that month. Once it reaches capacity, UNMC\u2019s enrollment in Kearney will grow to about 625 students, nearly doubling its current presence on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seeing The Next Step<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For UNK freshman Addie Schuka, the chance to see the building in person made the future feel closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s awesome,\u201d said Schuka, an exercise science major from Gretna who plans to pursue occupational therapy through UNMC. \u201cA lot of the things we saw in Omaha, they have here, and some of them are even better. It\u2019s very motivating to see where we can be in the next few years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schuka is part of the Kearney Health Opportunities Program (KHOP), a UNK-UNMC partnership designed to prepare students from rural Nebraska for health care careers in those same communities. Although she grew up in the Omaha metro area, Schuka appreciates the smaller class sizes and more personalized education offered in Kearney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou get to build more relationships with your peers and your professors, and that makes a big difference,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through KHOP, she\u2019s also gained firsthand experience in rural health care settings, including visits to hospitals such as Valley County Health System in Ord. Those opportunities reinforce the importance of training students close to the communities they may one day serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you go to those smaller hospitals, you really see how important they are to their communities,\u201d Schuka said. \u201cEveryone works together, and you\u2019re able to build ongoing relationships with patients. Having facilities like this in Kearney helps prepare us for that kind of care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jaycee Reynolds, a freshman pre-pharmacy student, echoed that sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was raised in Ewing, a small town with fewer than 400 residents, giving her a clear understanding of what access to health care can look like in rural Nebraska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe closest hospital to my hometown is about 20 minutes away,\u201d Reynolds said. \u201cDoctors would come into town a couple days a week and see patients in a small clinic space at the library. I want to give back to communities like this and be one of the professionals who can make health care more accessible for rural residents.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also a member of the KHOP program, Reynolds appreciates the opportunity to complete her UNMC training in Kearney \u2013 on the same campus where she is earning her undergraduate degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s beautiful,\u201d she said after touring the state-of-the-art facility. \u201cI love how it\u2019s one big building, and the technology is so cool. It feels like a place where you can really see yourself learning and growing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond serving UNMC programs, the new building will also house UNK\u2019s communication disorders program, along with UNK Student Health and Counseling, and provide access to shared lab spaces for undergraduate students. Central Community College will offer nursing classes in the facility, as well, further strengthening the collaborative approach that defines the project.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Health Science Education Center II in Kearney held a first-look event on Jan.
