This bill, passed in 1975, continues to provide a significant part of the funding for UNMC&#8217;s resident training today. <\/p>\n<p>Dr. Wigton said: &#8220;Even after he left UNMC, he worked to provide grants for programs in health care education in Nebraska. Dr. Sparks was a quiet man who worked behind the scenes to get his programs done. He was always a gentleman and cared about the Medical Center and its people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><TABLE border=\"0\" width=\"250\" cellspacing=\"10\" align=\"right\"><br \/>\n<TR><br \/>\n<TD><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/SparksRobertChancellor.jpg\" border=\"0\" align=\"right\" alt=\"picture disc.\"><br \/>\n<\/TD><br \/>\n<\/TR><br \/>\n<TR><br \/>\n<TD><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size:0.85em;line-height:150%\">Robert Sparks, M.D., as UNMC Chancellor<\/span><br \/>\n<\/TD><br \/>\n<\/TR><br \/>\n<\/TABLE>As UNMC&#8217;s second chancellor, Dr. Sparks oversaw the construction of the College of Pharmacy building to accommodate its move from Lincoln. He also presided over the construction of the College of Nursing, the Nebraska Lion&#8217;s Eye Institute, and the Clinic (ambulatory care) Building and the opening of the Eppley Science Hall. In 1976, he created the UNMC Board of Counselors, a group of advisors to the medical center focusing on long-range planning and goal setting.<\/p>\n<p>The Newton, Iowa, native received his bachelor&#8217;s degree (1955) and medical degree (1957) from the University of Iowa.  He completed his residency in internal medicine and gastroenterology at Tulane University in New Orleans and interned at the Charity Hospital of Louisiana in New Orleans. <\/p>\n<p>In 1958, Dr. Sparks joined the Tulane faculty and quickly rose through the ranks. In 1969 he became dean of the Tulane School of Medicine. During his time in Louisiana, he was director of the Louisiana Heart Association and the Louisiana Cancer Society.<\/p>\n<p>Following his tenure at UNMC, he became program director of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. He was named vice president of programming in 1981 and president from 1982-88. In 1995, he became president and CEO of the California Medical Association Foundation, a position he held until his retirement in 1998.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Sparks continues to aid students at UNMC through several funds: The Chancellor Robert D. Sparks, M.D. Award in Public Health and Preventive Medicine; The Chancellor Robert D. Sparks, M.D., Public Health Research Award; and the Chancellor Robert D. Sparks, M.D. Pre-Professional Student Scholarship in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. <\/p>\n<p>Dr. Sparks, who lived in El Dorado Hills, Calif., was impressed with the growth of the UNMC campus. &#8220;It&#8217;s something we would never have imagined the scope of in the 1970s &#8212; just like we can&#8217;t imagine the scope today of what it will be in 2025,&#8221; he said during a 2005 visit.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" title=\"iWw O KdM  K\">iWw O KdM
