Together, the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine (UNR Med) and community faculty are educating the next generation of physicians, researchers and health care professionals.
As a research-intensive, community based medical school, we engage full-time faculty and a dedicated volunteer community. Our learners are afforded a sound education with ample opportunities for research. The University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine (UNR Med) provides teaching faculty professional development opportunities, mentorship and the opportunity to give back by training the next generation of health care professionals.
Working at UNR Med is exceptional because of the collegial atmosphere and state-of-the-art facilities, which are on par with many leading medical schools in the country. The welcoming nature of the faculties and the administrative staff fosters collaboration and promotes inclusivity. The small class sizes of UNR Med allow us to interact closely with the students to provide quality education.

The faculty at UNR Med have been fantastic at helping to take the time to teach and to advise. Professors who I saw on a regular basis, like our anatomy professors, always would be teaching with the best interests of the students in mind. In our clinical rotations, our clerkship directors and coordinators were the best examples of teachers and mentors who would take the time to help us, whether we wanted to work with a specific community physician or if we needed accommodations for any personal issues.
Roshan Panda - M.D. Program, Class of 2025
I’ve been fortunate to receive wonderful mentorship and support from UNR Med faculty. I’ve chosen to pursue dermatology, and along the way, I have discovered a passion for research. My goal is to secure a residency at an academic institution where I can continue to explore both areas. The guidance I’ve received from a local dermatologist and researcher has been pivotal in shaping my career path. They piqued my interest in these topics and showed me the kind of physician and researcher I want to be in the future.
