THE UNLV SCHOOL OF MEDICINE: RETHINKING GOVERNANCE, PLANNING, AND ECONOMIC IMPACT

The Lincy Institute Colloquium Series, No. 2

Breakfast Reception: 8:30 - 9:00 a.m.  |  Scheduled Event: 9:00 - 11:15 a.m.

The launch of the UNLV School of Medicine presents a unique opportunity for Southern Nevada to address two critical issues: the absence of adequate healthcare services for a region of more than 2.2 million people, and the economic impact of a new medical school resulting in an expanded regional health care economy. A collaborative process that engages local, state, and private sector interests is essential to the development of the UNLV School of Medicine and the expansion of an effective, efficient, and profitable healthcare economy.

The Lincy Institute is pleased to release new health policy publications prepared with the support of the UNLV School of Medicine, and to host representatives of Tripp Umbach, the nation’s leading consultant on community health needs assessments, economic impact studies, feasibility studies, economic development, and strategic planning. Tripp Umbach will present options for funding and financing the construction of medical school facilities and will be joined by UNLV faculty members who will present research and policy analyses focused on the growth and sustainability of the UNLV School of Medicine.
