For Nurse Practitioners
Helping nurse practitioners acclimate to a clinic and community can better equip them for long-term success. This is why UNMC offers a fellowship program unlike any other.
uNParalleled is designed to nurture and support nurse practitioners through additional knowledge and mentorship. You will be connected to a clinic near one of our UNMC College of Nursing locations and given additional support for managing medically and socially complex patients. This innovative program is designed for primary care NP graduates and includes a focus on integrative mental health.
