Allied Health & Other Healthcare Professional Education

The goal of any pediatric hospital is to provide top-notch care for children and their families. And here at Children’s Nebraksa, we know that that type of care requires a stellar team.

A child’s care doesn’t just rely on excellent physicians and nurses — it is also dependent on a team of professionals who are all dedicated to providing the comprehensive care that every patient deserves.

That’s why Children’s is committed to providing the highest quality health professional training and education in the region.
