Hospital Partners
The UNK Hospital Partner Program is a partnership program between UNK Health Sciences and hospitals across Nebraska with the shared goal of growing and strengthening Nebraska’s healthcare workforce. Through this collaborative partnership, hospitals and UNK Health Sciences work together to educate and develop the next generation of healthcare providers. Students benefit from valuable, hands-on learning opportunities such as shadowing, internships, rural immersion programs, entry-level employment, and clinical engagement experiences—all designed to prepare them for meaningful careers in healthcare.
