A partnership already working in local hospitals
UNLV’s October 13 account of the Las Vegas Military-Civilian Partnership describes military medical personnel working alongside civilian teams in Southern Nevada. The university provides residency programs, faculty and educational infrastructure; University Medical Center supplies the clinical setting, while military partners contribute personnel, funding and experience.
Forty-one funded residency positions
The university says military funding supports 41 resident positions in UNLV programs. Military and civilian residents treat the same patients and follow the same training requirements. Military physicians also serve as university faculty, teaching and supervising students and residents.
What the announcement does—and does not—establish
The account explains an existing training relationship rather than announcing a new public clinic, additional appointment slots or a change in patient eligibility. It also describes coordination with the Air Force Office of Military Medicine. Readers can follow the university’s full report for the participating clinicians’ accounts and the partnership’s history.
