year and, in 2023, saw more than 230,000 clinical visits. Combined,
approximately 630 students graduate annually from UNLV AHC
programs. These programs also host an annual interprofessional
education and practice day, with over 400 AHC student participants,
and support 30+ team-based and interdisciplinary educational events
annually. As an AHC, UNLV is championing innovative approaches to
mental and behavioral health, as well as physical well-being. This is
demonstrated through our two community/school-based healthcare
clinics established through a UNLV Health and Clark County School
District partnership; our three UNLV community mental health training
clinics, including the school of medicine9s center for individual, couple
and family counseling; and the newly launched UNLV Community
Clinic, established as a partnership between the school of medicine
and the Volunteers in Medicine of Southern Nevada.
The UNLV AHC continues to establish itself in the community and
is currently re-establishing a cleft palate and craniofacial team,
expanding healthcare programs and graduate medical education
opportunities, offering more collaboration opportunities, and
increasing interdisciplinary research.
To have an AHC at UNLV is not only good for the university, it is good
for the community and all of Nevada.
