Company History
Founding
The University of Nevada School of Medicine was established in 1969 by the Nevada State Legislature as a community-based medical school with a mission of educating primary care physicians for rural Nevada. Initially what started as a two-year school with the first class entering in the fall of 1971, the School later became a full four-year medical school. The School of Medicine in 1981 saw its first students receive all four years of undergraduate medical education in Nevada.
Campuses
The University of Nevada School of Medicine had campuses and medical training programs in Reno and Las Vegas for many years as it embraced its Statewide mission. Originally, students completed the first two years of medical school – the basic science years – in Reno and then transferred to Las Vegas for the third and fourth years to complete their clinical requirements. In 2016, students no longer were required to complete training in Las Vegas and could remain in Reno for all four years of medical school. The school admits approximately 70 students each year, with many being Nevada residents.
Accreditation
The University of Nevada School of Medicine's accreditation is from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), the only accreditation authority for medical education programs leading to the M.D. degree. The LCME is sponsored by the Association of American Medical Colleges and American Medical Association.
