Community Outreach

The School of Medicine understands the importance of reaching out to the community. Engaging with local residents to help them understand not only the services we offer but also how the school makes an impact on the state is an important initiative. The School of Medicine connects with other local health care professionals, with public service employees and with citizens to build a strong collaboration in improving health in Nevada. We support a number of programs that provide the community with the resources and education they need to make a difference.

Aashish Khullar, M.D. | Northeastern Nevada Regional Hospital

UNR Med Clinical Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine

This month's Community Faculty Spotlight is Aashish Khullar, M.D., community faculty with Internal Medicine in Elko, Nevada written by Tim Grunert, M.D. (UNR Med '19). His nominators report that Dr. Khullar is an inspiration in medicine. Dr. Grunert described his experience with Dr. Khullar as “riveting, a gift. Dr. Khullar was one of the most impactful attendings I had in my medical education. He was personable and enjoyable to work with. He provided me complete autonomy yet was watching over all the decisions I made and procedures I performed. I felt like I was able to truly push my comfort level and learn how to practice hospitalist medicine. Dr. Khullar treated me like a colleague; he both let me manage patients myself and was always available for questions or guidance. He discussed topics with me and provided me with new diagnostic and learning tools daily. He is the absolute reason I understand hyponatremic management and evaluation of acute ascites specifically, and I use the same tools he showed me to teach medical students who rotate with me now. Dr. Khullar was integral in my growth as a new physician and is a gift to the medical students who get to rotate with him.”
