How the HCRC has helped UNO's Pre-Health Students
The UNO Health Careers Resource Center (HCRC) helped me explore healthcare options. Under their guidance, I sought opportunities to shadow a nurse, clinical lab scientist, and physicians at Nebraska Methodist Hospital. While these experiences were valuable, I realized I have minimal interest in handling bodily fluids or identifying pathogens. I found that my strengths and interests were best suited for the field of pharmacy. In total, I have shadowed nine different pharmacists within inpatient, outpatient, hospital, and retail settings. The HCRC helped me design my curriculum with an eye toward pharmacy. They prepared me for pharmacy school by recommending courses. They helped me immensely along my path and eventual acceptance to UNMC. I will forever be grateful for their academic assistance and insight, and I highly recommend students utilize them as resource to succeed.

The HCRC was an invaluable resource during my post-baccalaureate year. When I first met with Summer, I had no idea how to begin the application process for physician assistant school. She helped me figure out what classes I needed and helped me understand what schools look for in successful applicants. I took every bit of advice that she gave me and I met with her frequently to make sure I stayed on track. By the start of the new year, I was sending her countless drafts of my personal statement that she and Stefanie reviewed and together we crafted the perfect one. I felt fully prepared for the application process when the CASPA application opened. During the summer, the HCRC staff helped me review my supplemental application responses and practiced interviewing so that I would feel confident during the real process. In early December, I received my acceptance letter from University of Nebraska Medical Center, which was my top choice school. I could not have achieved this momentous milestone without the help of Summer, Stefanie, and Dr. Paul Davis. I am truly grateful for their generous support in helping me reach my academic goal.
