With almost 300 days of sunshine each year, the climate is exceptional. Whether you come into residency with an entire family unit or alone, there is a space for you here at this program and in our city. Las Vegas is more than “the strip” and provides a terrific venue for outdoor activities and family life. We have built a system that feeds off a family dynamic that you will not find at every institution. Our residents are an extremely close-knit group. Our robust mentorship program has been impactful in making scholarly activity a priority. Residents have been able to present their work at many local, regional and national meetings sharing what they have successfully accomplished. Our program places a strong emphasis on academics and scholarly activity, with a requirement for a scholarly project prior to graduation. Our program is like none other, allowing you to get a taste of the different settings in medicine. Further, community subspecialists complement the academic subspecialists in providing expanded educational experiences. Based at two large children’s hospitals – The Children’s Hospital of Nevada at UMC and Sunrise Children’s Hospital – our residents treat a diverse population of children with a wide variety of medical problems. The pediatrics program brings together the best of both academics and community practice. Although I believe this, many of our residents have personally come back and said the same. Regardless of your career choice, training at our institution makes you well prepared for your future. Many of our graduates have stayed in the Las Vegas area to practice general pediatrics while others have gone one to become subspecialist physicians. This program started in the 1990s and continues to successfully graduate pediatricians into the workforce, totaling over 350 pediatricians. Welcome to the UNLV Pediatrics Residency Program.
