Military Applicants

Picture
The Air Force joined forces with UNLV SOM at University Medical Center (UMC) in July 2011. Since then, the Health Professions Education Requirement Board (HPERB) has allotted six positions each year in alignment with the ACGME’s accreditation of the program, for a total of 12 residents (6 civilian). 
During this program, residents are 'stationed' at Nellis Air Force Base but complete the majority of their requirements at UMC. Three out of the 36 months in clinical rotations are spent at the Mike O’Callaghan Military Medical Center located at Nellis Air Force Base. The remainder of your clinical education and all didactics takes place at UMC, a large tertiary care facility that is a Level 1 trauma center, a regional burn center, and an established teaching hospital associated with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas School of Medicine.

Time spent at the Air Force base also provides a snapshot of the demands associated with military healthcare, and all of the factors that must be considered when treating fellow service members.

Emergency medicine is a very competitive field for all applicants, and active duty positions in Air Force programs are at a premium. It is strongly encouraged that you complete a clinical rotation at our program for consideration during the Joint Services Graduate Medical Education Selection Board (JSGMESB, also known as the military match).
 
Interview season for military applicants is July through mid-October.
