"My time at UNLV has been some of the most formative years of my life. There is no substitute for experiencing residency in an environment that is endlessly supportive and diverse. Any initiative I felt passionate about was taken seriously and often implemented with the chance for leadership roles. I have come through my medical training as a more confident and capable medical professional."

"The training I received at UNLV’s internal medicine residency program provided me with the foundation I needed to excel as a Rheumatology Fellow. Residents at UNLV have the opportunity to take care of highly complex patients with advanced diseases and diverse backgrounds, assuring that they will be prepared for even the most difficult cases when they are in independent practice. The faculty are committed to the success of their residents, providing the perfect balance of autonomy and support. Resident wellness is prioritized and the size of the program allows for a collegial learning environment, as well as work-life balance. As a residency program, I believe that UNLV provides the clinical exposure, teaching, and mentorship that one needs to become an excellent internal medicine physician and embark on the next step of their medical career."

"I enjoyed the three years that I spent in UNLV internal medicine residency immensely. Because you work at Clark County’s safety net hospital, you see a lot of pathology and interesting cases. The hospital environment is supportive of residents and conducive to learning. The attending physicians who work with residents clearly have a passion for teaching. I met wonderful co-residents who became my friends. Residency can be some of the most challenging years of your life, but working in an environment that is open, stresses well-being, and provides a myriad of opportunities for learning makes these years enjoyable. Residents graduate this program feeling prepared to enter the field of internal medicine in whatever way they choose – either as a hospitalist, an outpatient primary care physician, or entering a fellowship."

"I think the greatest strengths of our program when I did residency was – 1. Being a medium-sized program where everyone knew everyone and the work environment was very friendly. 2. Residents had a strong sub-specialty exposure. 3. Program leadership was very supportive and helped with career advancement. 4. Excellent rapport with co-residents both at work and outside."
