We called it Backstage Pass because of its hands-on, behind-the-scenes nature, and 14 years later it&#8217;s going stronger than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to popularity, what began as a once-a-year recruitment event for 10 programs has grown into multiple events and locations for more than 15 programs. We now offer it in the spring and fall in Omaha and in Kearney. &nbsp;The UNMC College of Nursing has joined us for the past few years, and uBEATS and Nebraska Medicine Talent Acquisition also had booths at the most recent Backstage Pass on October 9, which welcomed 254 attendees from 20 schools. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=d_FJgWx4FvE\">Watch a video of the event<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Backstage Pass is informational, but with games and interactive booths, it&#8217;s also fun and engaging. It\u2019s an opportunity to ask questions of current students and faculty, and to try some of the cool technology  health professionals use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/alliedhealth\/events\/backstagepass.html\">webpage for information and registration<\/a> for the next Backstage Pass in Kearney on Wednesday, April 9, 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a data-flickr-embed='true' href='https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sahp\/sets\/72177720321071962' title='Oct 2024 Backstage Pass Omaha by unmccahp, on Flickr'><img src='https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54057466781_a585353ab9.jpg' width='800' height='600' alt='2024 Backstage Pass Omaha'><\/a><script async src='https:\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js' charset='utf-8'><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Radiation Therapy booth was popular, as students made immobilization devices of their hands to demonstrate the importance of minimizing movement.
