Two faculty members at the University of Nebraska Medical Center recently<\/p>\n

were named to new positions.<\/p>\n

Gerald Groggel, M.D., associate professor in the UNMC Department of<\/p>\n

Internal Medicine, has been named section chief of nephrology. Nephrology<\/p>\n

focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of the kidney. Michael Hammeke,<\/p>\n

M.D., an associate professor in the UNMC Department of Internal Medicine,<\/p>\n

has been named medical director of the Nebraska Health System dialysis<\/p>\n

program.<\/p>\n

As section chief, Dr. Groggel intends to build UNMC’s research program<\/p>\n

in nephrology. Currently, there are four faculty members in the section.<\/p>\n

“I’m excited about building the nephrology section that Dr. Hammeke<\/p>\n

started six years ago,” said Dr. Groggel, who joined UNMC in 1995. “I want<\/p>\n

our nephrology division to continue to provide outstanding care to patients<\/p>\n

both in Omaha and all of Nebraska. We should be on the cutting edge of<\/p>\n

nephrology care and be viewed as a place which can solve problems which<\/p>\n

others may not be able to solve.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Groggel replaces Dr. Hammeke, who has served as section chief since<\/p>\n

1994.<\/p>\n

Dr. Hammeke joined UNMC in 1994 after a 17-year career at Creighton<\/p>\n

University. Under his direction, nephrology became the elective of choice<\/p>\n

for UNMC’s medical students and residents. As medical director of the dialysis<\/p>\n

program, Dr. Hammeke will supervise acute and chronic dialysis service<\/p>\n

for Nebraska Health System.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
