HCA Healthcare Sunrise Health GME-MountainView Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a high-volume, community-based, HCA-affiliated program in Las Vegas that trains residents across two busy sites, MountainView Hospital and Sunrise Hospital (a Level II trauma center), with a combined 240,000 annual patient visits placing it among the nation's busiest EM programs. Clinical training emphasizes procedural volume and early autonomy, with interns reportedly exceeding graduation procedure requirements within their first months, supported by a flipped-classroom MALCEM curriculum blending independent modules, simulation, and group learning. Career outcomes skew toward clinical practice and subspecialty fellowships (Critical Care, EMS, Hyperbarics, Addiction Medicine, EM Administration, Wilderness Medicine, Sports Medicine) rather than academic research, and the broader HCA GME system emphasizes resident wellness and psychological well-being as an explicit institutional pillar alongside clinical training. The program values residents who thrive in a high-acuity, high-throughput community trauma environment and want hands-on procedural exposure over a heavily research-driven track.
