\nThe U.S. News rankings on primary care are based on two types of data: expert opinion about program quality and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school’s faculty, research and students. <\/p>\n

Rankings for the health specialties — including rural medicine, nursing and physician assistant — are based solely on the ratings of academic experts. <\/p>\n

UNMC officials encourage students to use many sources — including rankings — when selecting a graduate or professional program.

\n<\/TABLE>U.S.News & World Report recognized seven UNMC programs in its annual rankings of the nation’s top graduate schools. <\/p>\n

UNMC continued its solid standing in areas such as primary care and rural health. The medical center’s climb in extramural research funding — which topped $100 million in extramural research funding last year — also was recognized among the magazine’s research rankings. <\/p>\n

The rankings are reported in the magazine’s 2011 edition of America’s Best Graduate Schools, which is available soon on newstands. The online edition includes longer lists of some specialty rankings, as well as additional school directory information.<\/p>\n

“There has been a long-standing commitment at UNMC to rural communities and primary care education,” said Rubens Pamies, M.D., vice chancellor for academic affairs. “These rankings acknowledge that commitment, as well as show our strengths in research and other health disciplines. We’re pleased to rank among the best in the country.”<\/p>\n

The following UNMC programs were recognized in new rankings this year:
