Residents

	Kim Bauman, MD Kim’s favorite saying is “Sometimes you just have to take the leap and find your wings on the way down.” She took a big leap by leaving the family farm and her high school biology classroom in Gothenburg, Nebraska, for medical school at UNMC. She also has a B.S. and M.S. in education from UNK. She chose the Lincoln Family Medicine Program because she wanted to be in a community program and have the opportunity to work with a group of residents as a team. She likes family medicine because of the lifelong relationships that are built with patients. She wanted to move to Lincoln because the city and schools provide excellent educational and extracurricular opportunities for her three children. The most important thing in her life is her family especially her husband, Joe. Sometime you should ask her to sing one of her biology songs she used to sing to her students. If Kim weren’t a doctor or a teacher, she’d be a professional student.
	Benjamin Biehl, MD If Ben wasn’t a family physician, he’d be a storm chaser. He did grow up in tornado alley in the heart of Nebraska in the great city of Hastings. He received a B.S. in biochemistry from Nebraska Wesleyan and an M.D. from Creighton University. His fiancé, Katy, is the most important person in his life. According to Ben, some of the best features of the Lincoln Family Medicine Program are the nice people, the unopposed program, and the Huskers. He loves the variety that family medicine has to offer and enjoys gathering facts and putting together a diagnosis. In his spare time, you can find him watching Modern Family on tv, eating Jimmy Johns, and planning his honeymoon trip to Carhenge. His interests and talents include running, basketball, fantasy football, drawing, painting, and building fire pits.
	Zachary Frey, DO Zach grew up in Gretna, NE before attending college and medical school in Missouri. He received an undergraduate degree in biochemistry from WilliamJewellCollege and went on to pursue medicine at Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences. Zach has always had a passion for people and enjoys a broad scope of medicine, thus family practice was a perfect fit. His hometown roots, love for Nebraska football, and the program’s strong procedural training helped bring him and his wife, Lindsay, to Lincoln. When not working or cheering on his Huskers, Zach loves socializing with family and friends or working on his golf game. Fore!
	Linsey Haden, DO Linsey enjoys the variety of family medicine. She chose the Lincoln Family Medicine Program because it has a good atmosphere and is a family-centered program. According to Linsey, the best thing about this residency program is the people. Her daughter, Adelyn, and husband, Matt, are her priorities. Her favorite area of family medicine is caring for pediatric patients especially adolescents because of their unique issues. She is originally from Chappell, a small town in Nebraska’s panhandle. She headed east to UNL and received a B.S. in nutritional sciences before going on to Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences for her D.O. degree. One of her hobbies is cooking, and an added plus to this is that it doesn’t involve any paperwork.
	Jared Kohlenberg, DO Jared enjoyed his student clerkship with the Lincoln Family Medicine Program so much that he decided to stay. He grew up in Bellevue, Iowa, and he likes living in Lincoln because it is a big city with a small town feel. He wanted to receive his training with this residency program because it offers a wide variety of procedures and has a small town/rural approach to teaching. He completed his undergraduate degree in biochemistry at LorasCollege in Dubuque and received his D.O. degree from Des MoinesUniversity. He describes himself as being a tall and goofy extrovert. Just wait until you meet him, and you’ll understand. His interest in family medicine stems from the fact that he is a people person who enjoys establishing lasting relationships with others. In his spare time, you can find him out running or on the basketball court. He also enjoys traveling, and he may sky dive to his next destination.
	Jessica Leibhart, DO Jessica describes the Lincoln Family Medicine Program as being like home, where you are not just a number but a person – a part of a family. She says the best feature of the program is the amazing faculty both at the clinic and in the community. The next best feature is the class of first year residents. She has a special interest in obstetrics because “it is so rewarding to bring a new life into the world.” Her hobbies include running with her dog, Hank, playing the piano, and eating dark chocolate.

She attended MidlandLutheranCollege and received a B.S. in biology before attending medical school at the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences.
	Lindsay Rice, MD According to Lindsay, “I love it all – that’s why I do family medicine.” She doesn’t like being minimally involved in a patient’s care and wants to be a part of the entire picture. She has lived all over the Midwest including Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kansas, and she received a B.S. in biochemistry from UNL. She came back to the city of her alma mater for her family medicine residency after graduating from medical school at the University of Missouri.

Her hobbies include riding horses, being outdoors, and baking pies. She could not live without ice cream and her husband, Parker. Her favorite saying is from one of her diabetic patients…”But I use that sugar free syrup on my pancakes.” FYI…One of her goals is to get a pilot’s license someday.
