We want to welcome you
to the Graduate Medical Education Programs
at the University of Nebraska Medical Center,
and its hospital partner, the Nebraska Medicine.
We are a tertiary care center
but we are located in a city and state that is very friendly,
has a low cost of living and shares a can do attitude.
On our campus,
we have about 65 core residency and fellowships programs,
including in all specialties.
We know you are at a professional crossroads,
trying to make an important decision
as to where you want to spend the next one, three
or five years of your professional and personal lives.
We want you to explore our campus
and explore our programs,
because here on our campus,
we not only provide an education,
but also very supporting and nurturing environment
because we think that
we should not only promote your professional growth,
but also foster your personal growth.
You really need the hands on practical experience,
and so that is going to be what sets you apart
from all the other physicians
and training programs everywhere else.
And in order for that to be successful,
it has to be augmented by a training environment
that is supported by the Graduate Medical Education
and the hospital leadership that really supports residents.
I really was impressed by the institution
of UNMC and Nebraska Medicine.
Not only have they shown stability,
but growth and upward trajectory over the recent past.
We have a number of sub specialties,
that will give you a case mix
that you will not get at many other institutions,
but also the ability to help match our residents
into some of the most competitive fellowships.
We do many things
to support your scholarly activity.
We have our own journal,
the Graduate Medical Education Researcher Journal.
This was launched last year.
The sole purpose of this journal is to provide a platform
for House Officers to publish their research.
We have our own research symposium.
The sole purpose of this is to provide a venue
for the house offices to showcase their research
in oral and poster forms,
along with awards for the best abstracts.
We have two research collaborative's
to support your research.
We are leaders in education
and are very forward thinking, and you can see that
by the way we incorporate simulation into your education.
On our campus,
we have iEXCEL or the Davis Global Center,
which is the world's largest simulation center
consisting of nearly 200,000 square feet.
This will be of integral benefit,
and this is where you will be undertaking
some of your training.
While we do this all on the professional front
to promote your academic growth
here at UNMC and Nebraska Medicine
we are just as committed to your personal growth.
We have the House Officers Wellness Lounge
that consists of workspace,
conference space, exercise room, relaxation rooms
and a mother's room.
This space is kept aside, always dedicated
for the exclusive use of House Officers
and foods also provided on some days.
I knew that I would get the training I needed.
What I was pleasantly surprised to find was that
the emphasis on wellness and my personal experience,
my personal interests was valued
just as much as the training.
We invite you to explore our campus,
our city, our state,
our GME programs and the individual programs
of your choice.

The sole purpose of us here at UNMC and Nebraska Medicine
is to make sure you get the best training possible.
But at the same time,
we do want you to have fun
and leave this place with some fond memories.
There is nothing that gives us more joy,
than to watch the personal and professional growth
of our House Officers once they join us.
We wish you the best
as you embark on making the next most important decision
in your personal and professional lives.
Thank you.

I hope you found the preceding video valuable
as you begin your search for a residency
or fellowship program.
I am Dr. Brad Britigan,
Dean of the College of Medicine at UNMC.
Regardless of your specialty of interest
or your duration of training,
you should now have a sense that the opportunities
at Nebraska Medicine and UNMC are indeed world class.
I look forward to having the opportunity
to see many of you
as part of our entering residency class next July.
