About University of Nebraska Medical Center
In addition to providing training for today’s leading medical and healthcare fields, University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) is at the forefront of major research activities. Located in Omaha, Nebraska, UNMC is particularly well known and respected for its programs in Nursing, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy and Physician Assisting. UNMC also has a medical and dental school that trains future doctors and dentists. In addition to offering high-quality medical education, UNMC conducts hundreds of research projects yearly at its Durham Research Centers. Research activities include discoveries and contributions in such areas as cancer treatments and transplant medicine. Since the student population remains relatively small, both classes and research activities take place in small groups, giving students the chance to work with faculty members, who are leaders and pioneers in their field. Additional healthcare education programs include training for such fields as Clinical Laboratory Science, Cytotechnology, Medical Sonography and Radiation Therapy. Each program has its own admission requirements. Students may also apply for funding through research assistantships and fellowships.
