Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV Program
About This Program
Las Vegas provides a diverse community, and the rotations span state, federal and private institutions, which allows for a wide range of experience with patients in many different life circumstances. As a program we strongly support psychotherapy as a primary intervention in psychiatry and expect outpatient clinics to provide substantial time for such, with supervision available at multiple sites. We operate with a bio-psycho-social-spiritual model of care.
