Sorrell Center for Health Science Education on the UNMC campus, where each student received a certificate of completion.<\/p>\n<p>\nFor the past nine months the students participated in a range of courses including infectious diseases, anatomy and medical decision making.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe courses &#8211; specifically designed for high school students &#8211; were taught by UNMC faculty on the medical center campus. The High School Alliance program provides students a unique hands-on learning experience that is different from what students would have access to at their high school. Most of the courses offered in the program are eligible for dual enrollment college credit.<\/p>\n<p>\nHere is a list of the graduating class, listed alphabetically by the high school they attend.
