Dr. Virginia Ripley attended medical school at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. During her studies, she had to make another difficult decision: deciding which practice to specialize in. Not wanting to limit herself to just one interest, she decided she would specialize in family medicine, as it combined many different areas of health care into one practice. She completed her residency at Lincoln Medical Education Partnership. Today, she treats a broad range of patients as a family medicine doctor at Methodist Physicians Clinic.
