University of Nebraska Medical Center students will be working with health professionals across Nebraska this spring as part of their health care education. The rotations are part of the UNMC Rural Health Education Network (RHEN), an innovative program developed to help address the shortage of health professionals in rural Nebraska.

The students represent the College of Medicine, College of Pharmacy, College of Dentistry and the School of Allied Health Professions.

The RHEN program was developed to expose students to a rural health setting with the idea that if students receive their training in a rural area, the chances are greater they may consider returning to a rural area once they complete their training.

From January through May, the following students will be participating in rural rotations. Listed below is the name of the town where students will perform the rotation, the student’s name, hometown, educational program, rotation facility and dates.
