She&#8217;ll be on-campus in Omaha for about a year as full faculty, and then will return to Kearney to be the lead faculty member for the new PA Program expansion there. Here, in her own words, is a little more about Sheila:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am very excited to be a part of the UNMC PA Team and the progressive future that we have ahead of us for our Program. Before becoming a Physician Assistant, I had a couple of other careers. I continue to be a certified 7-12 math and chemistry teacher and was also a plant manager for a pharmaceutical device company. After graduation from the UNMC PA program, I worked at Med-Care, Inc, an interventional pain management clinic in Grand Island and Kearney, NE.\u00a0 I then became coordinator of the Nebraska Joint Replacement Center at Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney, NE, performing total knee and hip arthroplasties. I love being a PA, and I am happy to be back in the teaching profession!<\/p>\n<p>I am originally from a small town in the Sandhills of Nebraska called Bartlett, NE. I have called Kearney, NE my home for several years now. As of this year I am an \u201cempty nester,\u201d sending my last child of three off to college. (Hoping to get some UNL football and volleyball tickets!) I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, especially my two grandsons, and outdoor activities such as running, playing softball and boating.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to the UNMC School of Allied Health Professions, Sheila!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sheila Fleer, MPAS, PA-C, is a new assistant professor in our physician assistant program.
