Governor falls short with funds for UNLV med school

What happened to our medical school?

That is the only question I asked after Gov. Brian Sandovals State of the State speech a couple of weeks ago. I suppose when the governor talks about how we are doing, why we are doing it and what he is going to do next, and the only question is about the UNLV medical school, then it must have been a pretty good speech!

But where do we go from here? On Monday, the Nevada Legislature opens its 2015 session. Will our elected lawmakers be on good behavior? Will the Republicans, who now own both houses of the Legislature, accomplish what Democrats couldnt achieve when they were in control?

I am betting on our good governor to hold the crazies in his party tight enough so that they cant upset a good thing, which means that education, health care and myriad other infrastructure needs in our state finally will get addressed. And that the business community across the state finally steps up and is part of the investment that needs to be made. (In other states, they call that a tax increase.)

I know I am a bit late to the post-State of the State party, but it seems to me the words Sandoval spoke were the words everyone in Nevada needed to hear. It mattered not whether they were uttered by a Republican or a Democrat or some other political designation that makes people feel good about themselves. The fact is that they were words that had to be uttered and needed to be heard by all who live and work in the Silver State. Weve long needed to grow up and take responsibility for ourselves and our state.

There was, though, one area in the governors speech where I got confused. It had to do with taking advantage of the lowest-hanging fruit in feeding the long-term growth of Southern Nevada. And that would be the UNLV Medical School, which our governor told us was one of his top priorities. Thats good, because 70-plus percent of Nevadans live in the southern part of the state, and getting our own medical school is a priority.

This is where I would tell the well-worn joke about where Las Vegans go for good medical care the airport. But when UNLV has its own medical school, that joke will be history and our future will be one of high-quality medical care available to everyone who lives in this part of the state.

No more will people who can afford it have to travel to other parts of the nation for quality care. No more will people who cant afford to leave be subject to the hit-and-miss treatment and outcomes that define much of the critical needs that a population of 2 million people presents. We are the largest metropolitan area of the country without a medical school, and it is time we had one of our own!

Mayo: Aspiring racer Staropoli refocuses on med school, for now

Posted on by

Patrick Staropoli thought he would start 2015 with an agonizing decision: Quit medical school or give up his dream of becoming a NASCAR driver.

"The cards that were on the table made the decision for me," Staropoli, of Plantation, said last week.

After a deal to race on NASCAR's lower levels fell through, the Harvard graduate and past valedictorian at Plantation High is back at the University of Miami. He began his fourth semester of medical school in January, resuming his studies to become an ophthalmologist after a year off.

For now, he's trying to get his head back into school. But his heart is clearly with racing.

"I still think there's a chance there," Staropoli, 25, said. "I give myself an A-plus for effort."

I followed Staropoli and wrote about his strange detour last year (a feature project entitled "DRiven.") His wild ride began when he won a reality TV competition for aspiring drivers, beating a field of 700. Then he was given a chance on NASCAR's lowest rung, and he won a race in California last March. He spent the second half of 2014 as a marketing intern for Michael Waltrip Racing in Charlotte, N.C., trying to land a sponsorship deal.

In late October, he told UM he'd be coming back in 2015. If he didn't, he'd forfeit his spot at UM for good and would have to start medical school from scratch.

But all through November and December he kept searching for sponsors. At Christmas, he thought he had a deal with a main sponsor and was on the verge of signing a contract. But things fell apart. On Jan. 5, Staropoli returned to class, on the hook for another semester of student loans (on top of the $60,000 previously taken). He's back living at home with his parents in Plantation.

"My head's been in a million different places," Staropoli said. "I'm just trying to get back in the rhythm of school."

As we sat outside UM's Bascom Palmer eye clinic last week, he fretted about an upcoming test on infectious diseases and looming board exams in June.
