Today we welcomed @RepSusieLee to our beautiful medical education building. The congresswoman was able to tour our new, state-of-the-art facility where we’re busy educating Nevada’s future doctors! 🩺
Happy New Year! 🎇 Here are some of the 2023 initiatives Dean Marc J. Kahn is excited about!
🌟 Increasing class size
🌟 Developing ambulatory and research buildings

🌟 Formalizing and building out the academic health center
“We want our students to become doctors who remain intellectually curious for their entire careers... being involved in medical research is a big part of that,” said Dean Kahn. This year's research symposium showcased more than 60 research projects! 📚🧐

Tonight, @unlvmedicine unveiled the new and beautiful medical education building. I am thrilled to have @GovSisolak commit to the legislative creation of the Las Vegas Academic Medical District. It’s been a long road, but we’re just getting started in the #LVMD.
Thank you to @GovSisolak, @unlvmedicine, & @UMCSN, for partnering with me to unveil plans to invest $70M+ into the #LasVegasMedicalDistrict. I look forward to a new ambulatory care center, a Bsl-3 wet lab, and expansive infrastructure improvements to transform our community.
Big News: Today, the State’s Interim Finance Committee approved $70M for an ambulatory care center & a public health lab at @UNLV, with @UMCSN in the LVMD. @CLV committed an additional $10M to these projects, helping to create the world-class Las Vegas Medical District we deserve
