Pediatrics Residency Program

We train foundationally strong pediatricians who will become caring pediatricians in our community to support the growth and well-being of children who will become healthy and well adults.

Our Mission

The University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine (UNR Med) Pediatric Residency Program’s mission is to:

  • Improve the health and well-being of all children and specifically the underserved of the Northern Nevada community through excellence in education and postgraduate training that produces leaders in medicine, clinical care, patient safety, innovation and research with local, national and global impact.
  • To strengthen the relationship between UNR Med, Renown Health and the Nevada community through a collaboration that will support the development of pediatricians who provide excellent, evidence-based, quality, safe and compassionate care during their training and as board-certified primary care providers or fellowship-trained specialists after their residency graduation.
  • Provide a diverse, balanced and comprehensive curriculum with hands-on experiences in a supportive and multidisciplinary team environment with close guidance by knowledgeable and experienced mentors which prepares our trainees for primary care practice, fellowship training and academic roles.

We are a mecca for tech industry and home to many great businesses - but we're small enough to connect on a personal level.
