The fellow will spend the year in Sarpy County, as well as Omaha and Lancaster counties, working in the legal system and state hospitals such as the Lincoln Regional Center, learning how to navigate those systems, how to do psychiatric forensic evaluations and reports, and how to provide treatment for people in those settings. In 2021, UNMC and Sarpy County agreed to partner on the fellowship. Dr. Donovick, who works in Lancaster County, played a key role in expanding the fellowship into Lincoln.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUNMC is a valuable partner to the state, and I feel there will be even
