With 18 specialties for students to choose from, we want to keep local medical students in state where they can continue to expand their knowledge and grow their roots within the Las Vegas community. This is a very exciting day in the medical world, and Las Vegas plays a part in it as a destination for medical residency.”
The Sunrise Health Graduate Medical Education Consortium at MountainView, is set to welcome nearly 70 residents this cycle and four new fellows, joining the 140 residents that will be continuing in its programs as residents. At the Southern Hills-based GME location, 36 new residents and fellows will be joining the program, adding to the 49 continuing their resident journey. The new residents will begin July 2025, while others in various programs will be graduating in June.
MountainView Hospital launched its Graduate Medical Education program in 2015 with the accreditation of its Internal Medicine Residency Program from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Since that time, MountainView Hospital, Southern Hills Hospital and Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center received approval from the ACGME to join forces under the Sunrise Health Graduate Medical Education Consortium, and continued to receive accreditation for General Surgery, Family Medicine, OB-GYN, Transitional Year, Emergency Medicine, Anesthesiology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Psychiatry, Radiology Diagnostics, Neurology and four fellowship programs, Addiction Medicine, Critical Care Anesthesiology, Endocrinology Diabetes and Metabolism, and Gastroenterology.
ACGME is a private, non-profit organization that evaluates and accredits graduate medical education (GME) programs. A residency program specializing in a specific area is required for a physician to practice medicine, and is most influential in determining where a physician eventually practices.
