We deliver high-quality innovative education, research, and superb clinical care to meet the healthcare needs of the growing and diverse population of Nevada.

The Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV stands at the center of one of Southern Nevada’s most urgent and promising opportunities: building a stronger, more equitable healthcare future for a rapidly growing and medically underserved region. We are educating the next generation of physicians, advancing research that responds to community needs, and expanding the clinical and academic partnerships that improve care across Nevada. Our mission is both deeply local and profoundly impactful — to prepare talented, compassionate doctors, strengthen the healthcare workforce, and drive innovation that improves health outcomes for the communities that need it most.

Philanthropy is essential to accelerating our mission. Private support helps us recruit and retain outstanding students, invest in high-impact research, expand graduate medical education, strengthen patient care programs, and advance strategic initiatives that would otherwise grow more slowly or remain out of reach. Donor investment does more than fund programs; it creates opportunity, fuels discovery, and helps shape a healthier future for Southern Nevada. At the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV, philanthropy is a direct investment in people, progress, and the long-term well-being of the region.
