Originally from the greater Omaha area, Dr. Rebecca Wysoske moved to Illinois for medical school in 1984, graduating in 1988. She completed a residency in Internal Medicine in 1991 and a fellowship in Infectious Diseases in 1993 at Chicago Medical School. She worked for about 10 years in a variety of settings and states and found a significant shortage of psychiatric care and support, so she completed a residency in Psychiatry at the UNMC/Creighton program in 2004. She left the area for a short time but came back and has been a valued member of the UNMC Department of Psychiatry since 2007, holding various leadership positions. She developed an interest in wellness and resiliency and has worked for the past several years teaching resilience to colleagues and students at UNMC, Nebraska Medicine, and UNO. Along with other key members in the department, she developed WHOLE, their own branded resilience program based on well-studied concepts.
