DEPARTMENT OF PEDIATRICS LAS VEGAS
Welcome to the University of Nevada School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics in 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 12 positions open
each year for new physicians at the PL-1 level.
The full-time faculty includes general pediatricians, as well as specialists in allergy, cardiology, developmental pediatrics, endocrinology, pulmonology, gastroenterology and nutrition, genetics, hematology/oncology, and infectious diseases.
The Program utilizes several clinical teaching sites , including University Medical Center , Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center , and others. We feel that this wide variety of settings in which the residents practice helps to provide a broad view of pediatrics.
