Pharmacy students must demonstrate clinical knowledge, teamwork and critical thinking skills. Berger, Bruce and Duminy were the second UNMC College of Pharmacy team to advance to the national quarterfinals and the first to win it all. UNMC defeated the University of Rhode Island in the final round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe college is very proud of the team and all the hard work that went into preparing for the competition,\u201d said Don Klepser, PhD, Joseph D. Williams Endowed Dean. \u201cThey are amazing representatives of the quality of our students and program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was an honor to represent UNMC on a national platform,\u201d Bruce said. \u201cCertainly, there were tense moments of the competition, but our team dynamic and the numerous UNMC pharmacy students and faculty in attendance helped ease the pressure and gave us the confidence to perform at our best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The team took
