Program Identity & Fit

This is a newly ACGME-accredited, four-year Diagnostic Radiology residency at University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, the state's designated public safety-net and highest-level trauma/academic hospital in Las Vegas, recruiting four residents per year toward a steady-state complement of sixteen. As Nevada's premier academic medical center, UMC maintains institutional infrastructure for clinical trials and IRB-supervised research, and residents train within a system explicitly built around serving the region's most complex and underserved patient population. Given its inaugural status, the program offers residents an unusual opportunity to help shape early departmental culture and curriculum rather than stepping into a long-established structure. Career orientation and subspecialty tracks are not yet detailed on the public site, consistent with a program still building its educational identity alongside its clinical mission.

Who it fits
An applicant drawn to building something new within a public, safety-net academic hospital, comfortable with the ambiguity of an inaugural program and motivated by serving Nevada's underserved trauma and tertiary-care population.
Research intensity
Moderate - institutional research infrastructure (IRB, Clinical Trials Office) is available and supported, but no evidence of a mandated or central research requirement for radiology residents specifically.
Career orientation
Mixed - Academic Medicine, Community Practice
Important
Applicants must satisfy Clark County residency and vehicle registration requirements as a condition of the residency.
