She has a longstanding relationship with the geriatric psychiatry division and will bring her enthusiasm and great patient care skills to our group,\u201d said Dr. Steven Wengel, Geriatric Division Director for the Department of Psychiatry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Ranum graduated from UNMC and has spent the previous four years as a resident with the UNMC\/Creighton Psychiatry Residency program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always felt at home (at UNMC), more than any other university I attended or did my training,\u201d Dr. Ranum said. \u201cWhen I started thinking about where I wanted to work after residency, it was an easy decision to stay here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Ranum also holds an undergraduate degree in nursing and worked as a nurse at a nursing home and an aide at an assisted living center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI loved working at the assisted living center, and the geriatric population has always been my favorite to work with,\u201d she said. \u201cThey tend to be more complex medically. Also, they have different psychosocial stressors than younger adults, such as declining independence with increasing disability and losing social supports as they age due to the death of loved ones. This combination is interesting and challenging to me and makes my work feel meaningful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Ranum said she decided to specialize in psychiatry after her rural family medicine rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI realized on that rotation that I would rather sit and talk with someone about their depression than any physical complaint. Those patient encounters seemed more meaningful to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Along with working with the geriatric population, Dr. Ranum will work with future doctors as a member of the UNMC faculty. She said she wants to give students and residents meaningful experiences in the field of psychiatry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Ranum said she\u2019s excited to remain in Nebraska after her residency ended in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI moved to Omaha for medical school and stayed here for residency, so I\u2019ve been here for eight years. In that time, I got married, had a couple of kids, and bought a house with a yard so I could get a dog. Omaha has become home, so it played a role in my deciding to stay here,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/voicedwhispering.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\"B fbgUPPORkWvvIWBcZ  ludbf Zq\">B fbgUPPORkWvvIWBcZ  ludbf Zq<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erin Ranum, MD, will join the UNMC faculty as an instructor this summer in the growing geriatric division. \u201cWe\u2019re very happy to be joined by Dr. Erin Ranum (on August 17)!
