3. Resident Recruitment (2020 Nebraska Medicine "Getting to Know Us" Residency Session)
"I felt that this informational session had the most “family” atmosphere of any virtual showcase I have attended thus far. I really appreciated how Dr. Fuller took the time to let each participant go around and share a little bit more about him/her self. He answered each introduction with follow up questions or comments, and I could tell he was genuinely interested in learning more about our background. Recruiting for residency in a virtual manner is hard for both programs and candidates, but Nebraska Medicine did a great job of making me feel welcomed and showed a genuine interest in me as a person.”

You can tell that Greg is passionate about teaching and pushing residents to go beyond where they are comfortable with (which is what a residency year is all about). I really appreciated the feedback and guidance he gave me throughout the rotation.”

6. Let’s say the year is 2050, when reflecting back on your residency year (2020), what will you remember most (aside from the COVID-19 pandemic)?
“I will absolutely remember the mornings in the office with my co-residents, drinking coffee and probably overtired. These times will forever hold a very special place in my memory and I will miss the companionship as I continue in my career. I am so happy to share in my co-residents’ happiness, their joys and successes throughout this time, as they have shared in mine.”

7. Adult Liver Transplant Rotational Experience with Dr. Mary Leick
“It was great working with Dr. Leick over the past month. She challenged me to grow as an independent pharmacist, and I left the rotation confident that I have the abilities to handle a large and very complex patient population. She was patient with me while I grew accustomed to the service and gained confidence with the medical team. She was always available for questions and/or concerns. It is evident that she is passionate about the growth of her learners and she definitely provides the necessary support for them to achieve their goals.”

She asks them about their personal lives, which forms a bond that allows patients to trust her. She goes out of her way to provide extraordinary patient care and has created an environment where physicians are free to ask he any questions. She was quick to provide feedback and I was able to implement the feedback easily because she clear with her expectations.”
