Program has provided educational experiences for thousands of UNMC students <\/b><\/p>\n

By creating RHEN and forming partnerships with communities across the state, UNMC was able to develop a network of volunteer faculty to serve as preceptors for its students.<\/p>\n

RHEN allows students to receive part of their professional education in sites away from the main UNMC campus. Almost all UNMC students experience a rural rotation at some point in their education. In 2010, more than 530 UNMC students participated in 854 rural rotations in 74 Nebraska communities.<\/p>\n

UNMC College of Medicine alumnus and RHEN director, Patrik Johansson, M.D., M.P.H., spoke glowingly of the RHEN program from his own personal perspective.<\/p>\n

"When I was a medical student, my rural rotations in Sidney and Gordon exposed me to the breadth of primary care, and I became acutely aware of rural health professions shortages," he said. "These factors strongly influenced me to pursue a career in public health and in my capacity as RHEN director work toward addressing health professions workforce shortages in rural Nebraska."<\/p>\n

There are currently 95 Nebraska communities and 324 organizations who serve as rural rotation sites (located outside Douglas, Sarpy and Lancaster counties) for UNMC students.<\/p>\n

They provide educational training for the following UNMC programs – clinical laboratory science, dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, physician assistant, physical therapy and radiography.<\/p>\n

What others are saying about RHEN:<\/b><\/p>\n

"My rural preceptors encouraged me to ask questions, and I was able to start building a network of health care professionals I still contact when I want to share information or bounce ideas off someone. Second, it isn’t just the preceptor who influences the students. During the rotation, students experience all aspects of living in rural communities, and it helps them decide whether a town is someplace they would like to work and raise their families."
\nKaren Kroll, Pharm.D., director of the Thayer County Health Services Pharmacy in Hebron, Neb., who graduated from UNMC in 2005 <\/b><\/p>\n

"My rural rotations were integral for me choosing to enter the world of rural family medicine. I benefitted immensely from the direct one-on-one teaching and acquired skills that will be of use for the rest of my career."
\nAndrew Pohlmeier, M.D., Lawrence, Neb., who graduated from the UNMC College of Medicine in 2011 <\/b><\/p>\n

"The RHEN program is a long-term investment in the young students of Nebraska. Over the past 20 years, RHEN has offered opportunities for many students to have part of their health education in the rural parts of the state. With this exposure to rural medicine, we have reaped the reward of having many of these students go on to establish their practices in smaller communities of the state." Milton ‘Pete’ Johnson, M.D., associate director of the Rural Residency Track of the UNMC Department of Family Medicine program at Regional West Medical Center in Scottsbluff <\/b><\/p>\n

"My preceptorship was an opportunity to expand not only my technical skills but also my personal skills working with a full office staff and a variety of patients. I was able to experience many ‘real world’ dental scenarios that I would’ve never seen in dental school and felt very confident to go out and practice the day I graduated. When a position came available at the clinic I did my preceptorship at, I jumped at the chance to work in the Nebraska panhandle again and hopefully prepare other students for the real world like my preceptors did for me."
\nHayley Beaudette, D.D.S., Community Action Partnership of Western Nebraska in Gering, Neb., who graduated from UNMC in 2008 <\/b><\/p>\n
