Boost residencies to boost doctors in Southern Nevada, says Rosen<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

By Jeff Gillan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) \u2014 Hello from the medical district, the headquarters of our medical community. Located here is the new Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV, one way we’re trying to bring in more doctors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s another: At the UNLV med school Thursday, I meet U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen and her fellow Democrat, U.S. Rep. Susie Lee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosen has introduced a bill in the Senate that would bring more medical residencies to underserved areas like Nevada. Lee is helping in the House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat this bill will do is bring those residencies here to places like the UNLV Medical School. And allow us to train doctors here. We know where doctors train, that’s often where they stay, that’s often where their careers start,\u201d Rosen tells me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, Rosen introduced the Physicians for Underserved Areas Act along with U.S. Sen. John Boozman, a Republican from Arkansas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residencies are a new doctor’s first real chance to practice medicine, and Nevada needs doctors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state ranks 48th in the nation in the number of primary care physicians and 50th in the number of general surgeons, according to numbers from the University of Nevada, Reno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residencies would help boost those numbers, says Wolfgang Gilliar, the dean of Touro University Nevada, which trains osteopathic doctors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you are going to medical school, about 50 percent stay in the state, but if you go into the residency, about 75 to 85 percent stay where they do their residency,\u201d Gilliar says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some young doctors who go to school here have to leave here, says Dr. Marc Kahn, the dean of UNLV’s med school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are specialties that our medical school graduates can’t train in this state, like dermatology. We’re in the middle of the Sun Belt and we can’t train dermatologists in this state. We have an aging population and right now we don\u2019t have a hematology-oncology training program in this state. We really have a long way to go,\u201d Kahn said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevada has just over 400 residencies. By comparison, New York state has 19,000, Kahn tells me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am planning to stay,\u201d says Dr. Tammy Flores, a third-year resident in internal medicine at UMC, who was at Thursday\u2019s roundtable with Rosen and Lee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flores sees Las Vegas growing by leaps and bounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor that reason primarily I’d like to stay because it’s where I’m most needed,\u201d Flores tells me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
