Reflections from the Dean: The regenerative power of teacher-learner relationships
We have a crisis in medicine and medical education. We see seemingly daily reports on the deteriorating state of the mental health and well-being of medical students, residents and physicians. There is much we don't know, and much we could criticize about the general state of research in this field, but the data are clear that something serious is threatening the fundamental values of the medical profession.
I am proud to have been a physician for 44 years. I feel blessed every day that I have the privilege of practicing and teaching medicine. For that reason, I am personally distressed to see what seems to be a crisis of confidence and morale in physicians. I am sad that we are experiencing a fundamental threat to the integrity of the profession that I love. This crisis appears to affect the entire physician lifespan, from medical student to retiring physician.
The University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine is celebrating 50 years of a proud pioneering tradition in progressive medical education. We have guided more than 2,000 students in their journeys to become physicians, researchers and medical professionals. We are a top choice for students who want a tailored medical school experience in an invigorating outdoors-oriented west coast setting. Students are drawn to our small class sizes, award-winning faculty members and well balanced work and school life.
Our curriculum extends far beyond the walls of our University, emphasizing a team-based approach to medical education that produces skilled and compassionate medical professionals. This means our students have the opportunity to work with expert physicians, biomedical researchers and healthcare professionals as they decide where their medical careers will take them.
We encourage you to explore our campus and when you're ready to apply, we're here for you every step of the way.
