Students also get to connect with current students in their declared health profession training programs and gain information and tips on how to be prepared to thrive at UNMC.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The annual visit to UNMC is an outstanding opportunity for our future students to visualize themselves in their health profession training program, and as a future health care provider,&quot; said Nikki Carritt, director of Rural Health Initiatives. &quot;After two years of &lsquo;virtual visits,&rsquo; we were excited to welcome students back for the in-person opportunity &#8211; long marked as a cornerstone of their program experience.&quot;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It is also an opportunity for faculty and staff across UNMC to demonstrate our commitment to their success in becoming Nebraska&#39;s rural health care workforce of the future,&quot; she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While at UNMC the students met with faculty in their training program, learned from presentations on how to prepare academically to meet the rigors of a health professions education, leadership, inclusivity, and well-being and stress management.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Students from Chadron State also had the opportunity to meet faculty and staff at the Health Science Education Complex (HSEC) in Kearney on their return trip. Several of the students will matriculate to the allied health professions and nursing training programs on that campus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Below is a listing of the students by college and hometown.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Peru State College&nbsp;<\/b>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ashland &#8212;
