Construction is slated to begin later this month on a new $95 million health education building in Kearney that will allow more aspiring health care professionals to study and train in central Nebraska. “The Rural Health Education Building will be a game-changer in this respect, serving a crucial role in filling shortages in all medical professions across Nebraska. "This will be the largest interprofessional rural health training facility in the country," Carritt said. The partner institutions opened the $19 million Health Science Education Complex on UNK's west campus in 2015, which quickly filled. More than 300 students currently are pursuing degrees there in nursing and a variety of allied health professions.
