There will be pizza from 5-6 p.m. and a prize giveaway at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We hope to raise awareness and grow enthusiasm about the opportunities in general internal medicine, as well as make our students aware of a potential shortage in primary care physicians,&#8221; Dr. Navarrette said.<\/p>\n<p>Internal medicine physicians take care of adults with minor and complex illnesses and conditions. They also are considered &#8220;quarterbacks&#8221; since they coordinate a patient&#8217;s care with specialists. The need for primary care will become more critical in the next 10 to 20 years, particularly to care for Nebraska&#8217;s growing aging population and those in rural and underserved areas.<\/p>\n<p>Each year about 25 of 130 UNMC medical students choose internal medicine as a practice. <\/p>\n<p>The event is being funded by a $1,000 grant from the Society of General Internal Medicine based in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skating social Tuesday aims to encourage medical students to explore careers in general internal
