Deliver improved patient care by applying new knowledge and skills

Teacher in a classroom

We support the interdisciplinary practice of medicine by providing educational opportunities for healthcare professionals including physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, pharmacists, dietitians, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals as determined by the specific identified needs related to each activity. We also provide educational opportunities for students and residents in order to enhance and augment their learning experiences knowing they will one day be practicing physicians and part of our target audience. We seek to address the needs of learners within the state of Nevada, including School of Medicine faculty, as well as healthcare professionals nationally and internationally.
