Membership is based upon scholarship and moral qualifications. The University of Nebraska chapter was organized November 2, 1914. The official student branch of the Nebraska Medical Association designed to initiate student participation in organized medicine at an early stage in the future physician's medical career. Through membership in NMA-MSC, students from all medical school classes can participate directly in NMA activities and work alongside practicing physicians throughout the state of Nebraska. In addition to student chapter activities, student representatives work on active NMA commissions and become personally acquainted with practitioners in all medical specialties.
Meetings provide information about residency programs in the midwest area and elsewhere.
This organization also allows student participation at the state level and exposes students to organized medicine. This group is open to UNMC students who wish to explore alternative and complementary medical therapies and beliefs. The Student Health Center is designed to provide routine outpatient health care and treatment of episodic illness for enrolled UNMC students and optional for their dependents. If specialized care is needed, referrals will be written for those services on the UNMC campus only.
