\n<\/TABLE>In UNMC Today’s Student Spotlight, we get to know some of these students, who are training to become tomorrow’s health care professionals. <\/p>\n

Today we meet Bret Hays, a third-year College of Medicine student.<\/p>\n

  • Name:<\/B> Bret Hays
    \n
  • Hometown:<\/B> Alma, Neb.
    \n
  • Year\/Program:<\/B> Third year\/College of Medicine<\/UL><\/p>\n

    What is your best memory from your time at UNMC?<\/B><\/p>\n

    The first day of medical school and the whole experience of starting medical school and beginning my career.<\/p>\n

    Our four brand values are leadership, commitment to excellence, working together and being a trusted resource. Pick one and tell us a time you witnessed it embodied at UNMC. <\/B><\/p>\n

    I remember my first experience rounding on the pediatric ICU. Physicians, residents, students, pharmacists and nurses worked together to ensure the best treatment of the patients. Each had a personal and professional responsibility to take ownership of their patients in order to provide the best care possible.<\/p>\n

    List three things people may not know about you.<\/B>
    \n

    • I am an Eagle Scout;
      \n
    • I graduated from high school with 26 other people and have never been cow tipping; but
      \n
    • I have run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain.<\/UL><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
