Educate the Future of Medicine

Our faculty find that the most fulfilling and rewarding aspect of their medical career is in teaching. Maybe you have been in a practice for years and want to transition to academic medicine or perhaps you are coming from an academic setting but are looking for a smaller program. The willingness to teach, lead, and mentor our 24 residents is a priority with all of our faculty.

As a member of our faculty, you will find every day to be different. Some days will be filled with instructing residents in our on-site classroom or treating patients in our clinic. Other days you may find yourself showing a resident how to perform a colonoscopy or rounding on your patients at one of our partner hospitals. In addition, Lincoln Pediatric Hospitalists, Stepping Stones (behavioral health services), and Lincoln Medical Acupuncture are additional services offered on our campus that faculty can refer patients for care. The diversity of opportunities is endless.

Academic medicine allows you the ability to impact a resident and every patient they care for in the future.

“Many of our residents are planning a rural practice opportunity and understand that endoscopy services can be limited in these areas. Residents are able to attain competence in endoscopy services through our didactics and hands-on training. It is personally rewarding to contribute to the training of our rural bound physicians, especially regarding endoscopy services.”

— Doug States, MD, ABFM, Faculty Member

“Every day, I am able to share interesting medical cases with the residents and to work with outstanding faculty members that are equally passionate about teaching.”

— Wade Fornander, MD, ABFM, Faculty Member & Director of Medical Student Education & Recruitment
