A private medical college was established in Omaha in 1880. Renamed the Omaha Medical College the following year, it became part of the University of Nebraska system in 1902. A university hospital opened in 1917. In 1968, the University of Nebraska decided to bring all of the health sciences under one umbrella and formed the University of Nebraska Medical Center campus. In 1991, a technology transfer office was created known as UNeMed. In 1997, the UNMC hospital merged with the nearby Clarkson Hospital to become what was later renamed The Nebraska Medical Center.
