Location of the proposed new academic
medical center in downtown Las Vegas.
|
Las Vegas is home to the world's largest gaming industry
center, the country's fastest-growing suburbs, and perhaps
the largest number of hasty weddings and even hastier divorces
per capita. But few people know Las Vegas is also one of the
largest metropolitan areas in the United States without an
academic medical center.
New
Task Force Hopes to Strengthen Chairs' Roles as Institutional
Managers
The AAMC has recently created a new Chairs Task Force within
the association's Council of Academic Societies (CAS). Headed
by Lloyd Michener, M.D., chair of the Department of Community
and Family Medicine at Duke University Medical Center, the
task force was formed to help support and strengthen the roles
of medical school chairs as institutional managers.
