Hands-on involvement and unique learning opportunities

Our residents and fellows enjoy a balenced work-life learning environment here in the Truckee Meadow region, truly putting the 'resident' in residency.
Paired with one-of-a-kind experiences only found here
Our programs have so much to offer, and being in Reno offers quite a few perks! With Lake Tahoe a quick 30 minute drive, we have everything from the majestic Sierras to the vibrant downtown and midtown culture. Whether you like to hike, ski, hunt, fish, experience world class dining, go out to hip nightlife spots, or take in incredible art, Reno has something for everyone.
Rural medicine training programs
The Elko Family Medicine Residency Program gives residents the opportunity to understand the unique needs and practice of rural medicine throughout the state. Elko's hospital has a catchment area of 130 miles where our rural residents have exposure to all regional socio-economic groups and train in all areas of the hospital, with no closed units. They care for newborns, assist with c-sections, manage critical ICU cases, and become proficient in bread and butter pediatric and adult illnesses like pneumonia and asthma. The ER experience is robust, as Elko is a travel corridor with an active mining industry--allowing for exposure to a variety of trauma and other emergent medical issues.
