More on EMPOWER<\/b><\/p>\n

UNMC’s entry is the EMPOWER project, which works to address the health-care disparities of women affected by domestic violence while also exposing students from medicine, nursing, pharmacy, physician assistant, physical therapy and public health to its relevant issues.<\/p>\n

Kirsten Foster, M2, is the latest student president of EMPOWER, which has been operating since 2008. The project is an undertaking of the Inter-Professional Service Learning Academy, College of Public Health.<\/p>\n

“It would be huge for UNMC to get this kind of recognition,” said Ayman El-Mohandes, M.B.B.Ch., M.D., M.P.H., dean of the College of Public Health. “Spread the word – it takes just a second to vote for UNMC.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
