Special Features
Our Family Medicine program at the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV has been training residents for over 20 years. Curriculum flexibility and diverse elective opportunities lets our residents tailor their training to their own needs, with a focus on community outreach. Las Vegas provides big city cultural advantages alongside family-friendly neighborhoods. The city also offers year-round outdoor recreational opportunities, far removed from the dazzling neon of Las Vegas Strip.
