Renown Health and the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine’s affiliation expands clinical care, clinical research and medical education.
Establishing Nevada’s first integrated academic health system with Renown Health not only advances our mission of supporting the health and health care of all Nevadans, but also advances innovation, expands clinical trials and improves affordability and access to quality, evidence-based care.
Through thoughtful partnerships and a community-based model, the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine (UNR Med) is enhancing the health of our community, region and state through expanded clinical care, innovative biomedical research and unparalleled medical education.
UNR Med has a strong focus on serving rural and underserved populations built into curricular and extra-curricular activities. I had the opportunity to act as a manager for the Student Outreach Clinic, which specifically offers medical services to uninsured individuals in our community. To have the opportunity to run a clinic as students and see patients under the supervision of volunteer physicians allows students to gain early experience in Years 1 and 2 and fills a critical gap in the health care system.

Enhancing access to quality health care in rural Nevada
We offer collaborative leadership and resources to support health care and community organizations.
We provide comprehensive care to patients throughout our community, including providing numerous free or low-cost clinics for uninsured and underinsured individuals.
UNR Med is grateful for the donations from the Anatomical Donation Program and the Organ Donor Program in Northern Nevada. These programs are vital initiatives that allow individuals to contribute to the advancement of medical education and research. These programs play a crucial role in training future health care providers, fostering a deeper appreciation for the intricacies of anatomy and the ethical considerations surrounding human life.
There is a great sense of community and collaboration among my peers and the faculty at UNR Med. I’d say the places you see collaboration the most is at the Student Outreach Clinic, Rural Outreach Clinic and in the anatomy lab. I always feel so inspired and grateful after seeing patients with my fellow classmates at the clinic. The feeling of working as a team so early on in medical school is special, and not something every medical school offers.
