\n

Reba Benschoter, PhD, emeritus professor, a national pioneer in the development of telemedicine and distance learning, died Jan. 1. She was 92. Services are set for Jan. 15 and 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDr. Reba Benschoter was a trailblazer,\u201d said UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, MD. \u201cShe was among those who helped make our 500-mile campus more than an ideal, but a reality. Today, we are proud to continue her legacy of bringing UNMC and its resources to people all across Nebraska and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Benschoter was director of a National Institute of Mental Health grant that led to what is believed to be the nation\u2019s first two-way closed-circuit telemedicine system, in 1964. In 1966, she gave a national presentation before the New York Academy of Sciences<\/a> on the use of \u201cinteractive television\u201d for teaching of remote students and for care of mental-health patients at Norfolk State Hospital. It was a novel method, with groundbreaking outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read the obituary online for Dr. Benschoter.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Benschoter would later recall that \u201cDec. 2, 1964, marked the true beginning of telemedicine in the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cecil Wittson, MD, namesake of Wittson Hall, was a driver and champion of what would later be called telemedicine and distance learning at UNMC and charged Dr. Benschoter with leading the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Benschoter\u2019s oldest daughter, Brooke Benschoter, said the innovation and cooperation during the dawn of telemedicine between her mother, at UNMC, and father, Leon \u201cBenny\u201d Benschoter<\/a>, who created the biomedical communications unit at the Creighton University School of Medicine, helped make Omaha a national leader in the technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey believed a high tide raised all boats and lifted each other’s institutions up for the benefit of all,\u201d she said. \u201cThe cooperation Benny and Reba brought to our dinner table led to their being recognized jointly by HeSCA with the Golden Raster Award<\/a> in 1981 for achievements that also put Omaha at the forefront of health sciences communications.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReba is truly an historic figure at UNMC,\u201d said Tom O\u2019Connor, retired longtime UNMC public relations professional. \u201cShe was one of the first women at the med center to take on a key leadership role, and she made the most of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was a trailblazer in this aspect as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReba had an unbelievable foresight of knowing \u2018when to hold \u2018em, knowing when to fold \u2018em,\u2019 probably long before Kenny Rogers did,\u201d said Roxanna Jokela, retired longtime UNMC employee, who worked closely with Dr. Benschoter as director of the Rural Health Education Network (RHEN). \u201cShe possessed a sterness, along with a big heart that she would share with colleagues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany of us on campus stand on her shoulders today,\u201d said Bob Bartee, senior advisor to the chancellor who retired as vice chancellor for external relations at UNMC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Benschoter led the then-School of Allied Health Professions from 1985-95 as its associate dean within the UNMC College of Medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe laid the foundation for what the College of Allied Health Professions is today,\u201d said Kyle Meyer, PhD, the college\u2019s founding dean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a sentiment echoed by many throughout the med center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Benschoter was especially proud that an allied health workforce study conducted in 1987, while she was associate dean, led to the development of UNMC rural outreach programs. \u201cShe was a visionary who crisscrossed the state forging the relationships which resulted in RHEN and RHOP in the ’90s,\u201d said Mary Haven, emeritus associate dean, who succeeded Dr. Benschoter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But her national legacy is in the use of technology to reach across distances to deliver both education and clinical care. Dr. Benschoter came to UNMC in 1957 as an audiovisual specialist in the college of medicine\u2019s Nebraska Psychiatric Institute (NPI). She later was named director of NPI\u2019s communications division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She led the landmark project believed to have pioneered telemedicine in the United States. (Dr. Benschoter was always sure to commend Dr. Wittson and engineer Van Johnson.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1970, the university created Biomedical Communications at UNMC, with Dr. Benschoter as its director. She continued to lead the growth of distance learning and telehealth at UNMC through the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, in partnership with Nebraska Educational Television, the Veterans Administration and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, Dr. Benschoter established the Dean Reba A. Benschoter Scholarship Fund for allied health students. Her name also lives on in the UNMC Department of Psychiatry\u2019s Reba Benschoter Inspirational Leadership Award.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
