Not long ago, I had the privilege of making my first visit to the new UNLV School of Medicine. It was immensely gratifying to witness firsthand the leadership, faculty and students embracing change — in the way medical students are taught and trained and in the school’s commitment to reimagining the way tomorrow’s physicians will care for their future patients.

At first, Maureen Kramer’s forgetfulness seemed like no big deal. She’d forget about plans made with her husband, Bill, and began relying on written directions to drive to familiar places.

Abraham Nagy, MD, chair of neurology at University of Las Vegas and director of Nevada Headache Institute discusses how better lifestyle choices can improve headaches.

As the bioethicist Johan C. Bester wrote in 2018: “The correct lens through which to view vaccination is moral obligation — we are obligated to provide children with protection against measles.

A nationwide effort to better identify signs of dementia and assist those afflicted with it has made its way to the financial services space.

We often hear that new mothers have suffered from postpartum depression. But what about the new father?

There have been more than 760 cases of measles in 23 states, including two in Florida. This is the highest number of cases recorded in the United States in the past 25 years, and the majority of infected people have not been vaccinated.

Pershing General Hospital is where many Lovelock residents get their health care. The town of less than 2,000 residents is about 90 miles from Reno. Like many of Nevada's small towns, it is difficult to hire more doctors. It has two doctors and one physician's assistant. Officials say they would like to double that.

A love of science and the study of medicine fueled Dr. Rooman Ahad’s career and led her to a role as assistant professor of pediatric neurology at UNLV’s School of Medicine. She is now part of an effort to expand autism services in the Las Vegas Valley and raise awareness through education and events such as the Grant a Gift Autism Foundation Race for Hope 5K, which was run April 27 at UNLV.
