DEPARTMENT OF PEDIATRICS LAS VEGAS
Welcome to the University of Nevada School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics (Las Vegas). After receiving approval from the Pediatric Residency
Review Committee of the Accreditation Council
on Graduate Medical Education in 1996, the University of Nevada School
of Medicine's Department of
Pediatrics assembled its first residency classes.
With four physicians in the PL-1 class, and two each in the PL-2 and
3 classes, the residents
began duties on July 1, 1997. The program has
grown by leaps and bounds and our resident complement now numbers 36.
There are now 16 positions open
each year for new physicians at the PL-1 level and will expand to 48 positions by 2014-2015.
The full-time faculty includes general pediatricians, as well as allergy specialists, cardiologists, developmental pediatricians, endocrinologists, pulmonologists, gastroenterologists and nutritionists, geneticists, hematologists/oncologists, and infectious disease specialists.
The program utilizes several clinical teaching sites including University Medical Center , Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center and others. A wide variety of settings provide residents a broad view of pediatrics.
