This series is a recent addition to the educational offerings from the Olson Center. This program is a collaboration with the UNMC College of Nursing and presentation topics are intended to reach primarily a nursing audience (with continuing education provided), however, anyone is welcome to attend. Live presentations are attended via an online video platform (Zoom) and the recorded presentations are available on this page.
