Dean details plans for $220 million medical school building near UMC

Posted on by

By Conor Shine (contact)

Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2013 | 2:46 p.m.

Plans for a new 280,000-square-foot building in Las Vegas could significantly improve the University of Nevada School of Medicines academic offerings in the valley. But building the new space near University Medical Center will come with a steep price tag, the medical schools dean, Thomas Schwenk, told Clark County commissioners on Wednesday.

Currently, the medical schools academic spaces are spread across a series of leased buildings and jerry-rigged classrooms and conference rooms near the UMC, which is owned by the county, Schwenk said.

The proposed $220 million, six-story building, on county-owned land at the northwest corner of Charleston Boulevard and Shadow Lane, would provide a central location for the school that includes classrooms, offices, a library, lecture halls and some lab space.

During his presentation, Schwenk referred to the building as another campus for the medical school, noting that the proposed Las Vegas building covers as much space as the four buildings that make up the medical school campus in Reno.

I believe this is a major campus that establishes the school as a major presence in Las Vegas; its not just another building, Schwenk said. We have very strong clinical programs lots of physicians, medical students and residents but we dont have the academic space. Thats the issue in Las Vegas.

Construction of the building will require a mix of state and donor funding, Schwenk said, which could be a challenge at a time when the state budget is tight.

Planning for the building is still in the preliminary stages, but it will likely be at least five years before it is completed.

The new Las Vegas building would improve the quality of education students receive and also could be a place for UMC staff to receive continuing education, Schwenk said.

Study: Gift bans in medical school affect doctors’ later prescribing patterns

Posted on by

By Chelsea Conaboy, Globe Staff

Doctors who attended medical schools that limited gifts to students from pharmaceutical companies -- sponsored lunches, for example -- may be less susceptible to drug marketing, a study published last week in the BMJ found.

Researchers from Yale University looked at the prescribing practices of doctors who had attended one of 14 schools that were early adopters of such policies. They looked at how often the physicians prescribed Vyvanse or Invega, two heavily marketed drugs used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and schizophrenia, over older, similar drugs.

Compared with doctors who attended the same schools before the gift ban was in place and peers from other schools, the physicians were less likely to prescribe the two marketed psychotropic drugs.

Increasingly, medical schools are sharpening policies prohibiting drug marketing on campus as researchers add to the evidence that it can influence physician attitudes and behavior over the long term.

The University of Massachusetts Medical School, for example, enacted a policy in 2008 prohibiting students from accepting gifts from drug and device makers. Harvard Medical School also bans pharmaceutical representatives from visiting campus, and companies cannot sponsor student events.

The Yale study found that the counter-effect on prescribing patterns was greater among students who attended schools with strict policies.

The study did not find a significant effect for a third drug, an antidepressant marketed as Pristiq. It is not clear why, but lead author Marissa King, associate professor of organizational behavior at the Yale University School of Management, said the drug is less commonly prescribed than the other two drugs studied.

The researchers evaluated the effects of gift restrictions only put in place as of 2004. They noted that much has changed since then, with more schools adopting policies or tightening their rules.

King said the study does not evaluate whether such policies could slow the acceptance by young doctors of potentially important new drugs. But, she said, my gut instinct is that if it is actually a radical breakthrough, physicians are going to adopt it anyway.

Legislators file bills to create new south Texas university, medical school

Posted on by

AUSTIN -- On Monday, the Rio Grande Valley Legislative delegation will file legislation to create a new University of Texas System university with a medical school in South Texas.

Senators filed a bill authored by state Sens. Eddie Lucio, Jr., Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa, Judith Zafririni, and Kel Seliger. House Bill 1000 by State Rep. Rene Oliveira is already filed, and also authored by state Reps. Dan Branch, Ryan Guillen, Armando Martinez, Eddie Lucio III, Sergio Muoz, Jr. Bobby Guerra, Terry Canales and Oscar Longoria.

Lucio (Brownsville) said, This is a historic day for the Rio Grande Valley. Todays filing is the first important step toward creating the Valleys only Tier One research university, with state-of-the art facilities and the ability to attract top-notch faculty. The inclusion of the future South Texas school of medicine as part of this new university is the culmination of a decade of work expanding medical education in the region. The Rio Grande Valley will soon become a center for multinational education, medicine, and industry. I want to thank my fellow delegation members for coming together on this important undertaking. I want to also thank Governor Perry, Lt. Governor Dewhurst, and the UT Board of regents for their support. I now call on fellow colleagues in the Texas House and Senate to support us in passing this crucial piece of legislation for the future of South Texas.

"This bill is the framework that will legally create the new university, and allows us, if passed by a two-thirds majority, to access the Permanent University Fund (PUF), and other state and federal research dollars. It will combine existing resources to create a new university maximizing efficiencies in facilities and administration," said Oliveira (Brownsville).

Hinojosa (McAllen) said, "This legislation, creating a new university in South Texas by merging UT- Pan American and UT- Brownsville and establishing a free standing medical school, has the potential of providing endless educational and healthcare benefits for our families in the Rio Grande Valley. I am proud that we stand united as a delegation embracing a regional mindset to draft the legislation we are filing today. The transformation of the Rio Grande Valley through education could soon be a reality and it is critical that we as a state invest in education and in the people of South Texas."

"As a member of the Valley delegation, specifically, as the senator for Starr County, I am delighted to co-author legislation that merges our regional institutions into a future emerging research university," said Zaffirini (Laredo), Co-Chair of the Joint Oversight Committee on Higher Education Governance, Excellence, and Transparency and a member of the Senate Higher Education and Finance Committees.

"By joining forces and pooling resources, we will establish a new higher education powerhouse that will expand access and enhance excellence, thereby providing countless new opportunities for students. This will benefit not only South Texas, but also our great state. Truly, our collaboration will unite our communities in ensuring a brighter future for our families. Together we will strive to secure the support of statewide leaders and our fellow legislators. Success is our highest priority."

"This bill anticipates a new day for higher education in the Valley," said Dan Branch (Dallas), Chairman of the House Committee on Higher Education. "We have an historic opportunity to enhance education, research and the economy. It's our vision that the Rio Grande Valley will one day rival Silicon Valley as an intersection of education and innovation."

Rep. Ryan Guillen (Rio Grande City) said, "This vital piece of legislation will create a comprehensive University of Texas component encompassing multiple counties on the Texas border. It represents an offer of excellence in higher educational opportunities for all South Texans. I couldn't be more pleased to offer my support as co-author and sponsor of legislation that will create the new South Texas component of the University of Texas System."

"This is the first step in a long process. I am supportive of the merger of both universities, UT-Pan American and UT-Brownsville. I am also supportive of a medical school in the Rio Grande Valley; however, there are still many steps in the process and questions we are waiting to be answered from the UT system regarding structure and placement," said Rep. Armando Martinez (Weslaco).
