How does UNMC/Nebraska Medicine compare to coastal academic centers?
UNMC (Nebraska Medicine) is a major academic medical center with national recognition, particularly for infectious diseases and biocontainment. PT Techs gain academic medicine exposure in an affordable Midwestern setting. UNMC experience carries weight throughout healthcare.
Is Omaha or Lincoln better for PT careers?
Omaha has more jobs, higher wages ($32K-$41K), and multiple health systems competing for workers. Lincoln has excellent facilities (Bryan Health, Madonna) with slightly lower wages ($30K-$39K) but even lower cost of living. Both offer strong quality of life.
Is there opportunity in rural Nebraska?
