For more than half a century, the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine (UNR Med) has prepared physicians and researchers to lead the way to better health for Nevada, the nation and the world.
UNR Med improves the health and well-being of all Nevadans and their communities through excellence in education, clinical care and research. Gifts to our medical school support the advancement of health care through investment in the education of future physicians, researchers and health care leaders.
Scholarships reward students who are committed to and focused on achieving their educational goals, and provide critical relief for the hardships faced when pursuing a career in medicine. Financial support of a student's medical journey affords them the opportunity to focus on the experiences that shape confident, compassionate and excellent physicians.
Knowledgeable and dedicated faculty are vital to UNR Med's mission. Your support of our faculty, whether through a named or endowed position, helps to foster a base of distinguished faculty talent that enriches the academic environment, advances UNR Med's global reputation, attracts research collaborations and recruits the most promising students.
UNR Med is a research-intensive medical school, advancing medical discovery and innovation through cutting-edge research in muscular dystrophy, infectious diseases, cancer, gastrointestinal orders and more. Investment in our student and faculty researchers will expand our research portfolio, advance knowledge for the global medical community and contribute to the development of therapeutic and diagnostic approaches that improve health.
Investment in UNR Med's student enrichment programs fosters hands-on learning experiences and leadership skills beyond the classroom. From support of our Student Outreach Clinic to investment in our student wellness initiatives, your gift will help cultivate a skilled and well-rounded health care workforce.
