Las Vegas hospital gets state’s first anesthesiology residency program

Updated February 18, 2018 - 11:17 pm

MountainView Hospital has been approved to host Nevada’s first anesthesiology resident program starting in July, the hospital has announced.

The three-year program, operated in partnership with the University of Nevada, Reno, School of Medicine, will accept six new students annually.

MountainView, a Sunrise Health hospital, also was the location for the medical group’s first residency program in internal medicine in Nevada in 2015, according to a news release.

“The accreditation of the anesthesiology program adds to the depth of medical education in the state of Nevada and continues to demonstrate the commitment of MountainView and Sunrise Health to our community and our physicians,” said MountainView Hospital CEO Jeremy Bradshaw said in the release.

A previous version of this article incorrectly identified the hospital’s academic partner organization.
