Medical school at UNLV could mean huge economic boost for Las Vegas

Posted on by

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Southern Nevada currently lacks a medical school in which students can pursue an M.D.

Leaders in the business community gathered on Monday at the Metro Chamber of Commerce, to change all of that, believing the medical school is one the key's to our region economic future.

"When you have the largest region without a medical school, and you put a medical school in that region, good things happen", says Dr. Stephen Lang.

Dr. Stephen Lang of UNLV's Lincy has been a proponent of bringing a medical school to southern Nevada ever since the organization dedicated to improving Nevada's health, education and social well-being.

Research that shows Southern Nevada is losing millions and millions of dollars every year to nearby cities like Phoenix and Los Angeles as southern Nevadans continue to go elsewhere for medical treatment.

Lang believes the mistake was putting a medical school in Reno, instead of the state's largest city.

MARTINSVILLE, Va. -

A grant from the Virginia Tobacco Commission is helping to create jobs in Martinsville.

On Tuesday, Martinsville City Council announced the Integrative Centers for Science and Medicine & College of Henricopolis School of Medicine were given an $800,000 Tobacco Regional Opportunity Fund grant to assist in the development of a medical school in Martinsville.

111 new jobs will be created and $3 million will be invested over the next three years in the project.

The money will also allow renovations to be done on the Shackelford building and enable the medical school to lease three floors of the Jefferson Plaza building while construction is being completed.

Heres the news release from the City of Martinsville:

The Martinsville City Council is pleased to announce that the Virginia Tobacco Commission has awarded an $800,000 Tobacco Regional Opportunity Fund grant to assist Integrative Centers for Science and Medicine & College of Henricopolis School of Medicine in proceeding with the development of a medical school in Martinsville, creating 111 new jobs and investing $3.0 million over the next three years.

The Tobacco Commission award puts the medical schools Shackelford Campaign over its $1 million fund-raising goal, and will allow environmental hazard removal and interior demolition to begin on its Shackelford Building, originally donated by Dr. and Mrs. Mervyn King of Martinsville. The award will also enable the medical school to lease three floors of the Jefferson Plaza building formerly occupied by New College Institute for faculty, instructional, and administrative offices before building renovations are completed. On behalf of the City of Martinsville, we are extremely pleased that Integrative Centers for Science and Medicine & College of Henricopolis School of Medicine are moving forward with the medical school project and in particular, staying in our Uptown area. Under Dr. Boazs leadership, this project is gaining momentum and ultimately will have a significant impact to both Martinsville and the surrounding community. We offer congratulations on the success of ICSM and CHSM and look forward to continuing our relationship for years to come, said Danny Turner, Mayor of the City of Martinsville.

The City of Martinsville has worked in partnership with Dr. Boaz and ICSM/CHSM to move the project toward implementation. The City recently donated property needed for the expansion of the Shackelford Building located at the corner of Fayette and Moss Streets and in addition to the Tobacco Regional Opportunity Fund grant, the project also qualifies for local Enterprise Zone assistance offered by the City of Martinsville.

"Because of this financial commitment by the Tobacco Commission, Dr. Boaz's vision to create a medical school in Southside that will train primary care physicians who will treat people who live in underserved and underprivileged areas in Virginia, can now become a reality. This medical school will be a critical component of our ongoing efforts to ensure that all Virginians in both the rural and urban areas of our region have access to quality primary healthcare. As an ardent supporter of both Dr. Boaz and the Henricopolis School of Medicine, I know that this investment by the Tobacco Commission will greatly benefit the citizens of Southside for generations to come, noted Senator Bill Stanley and Virginia Tobacco Commissioner.

Medical Students And The M Word

Posted on by

Among all the pressures of being a medical student, the biggest challenge can be our own mental well-being.

Most of us probably thought wed finally made it when we secured a place at medical school, or at least I thought I had. However, its becoming more apparent that keeping our place can be even harder.

Friends and family begin assigning us with labels once weve achieved a place; were now the smart ones, the perfect and the elite. Its easy to talk about the benefits of medical school and were grateful to be on such a respected course, a course that many people unfortunately fail to get into every year.

So why is it that sometimes we are eager to brush the subject of mental health under the carpet?

While there is a lack of research into medical students suffering from mental health conditions, existing studies do suggest that medical students are occasionally more likely to suffer from depression compared to students on other degree courses.

But does this possibly suggest that medical students are less likely to come forward with any problems regarding their mental health? And why might this be the case?

The healthcare system is built on a cycle of competition. From the minute we click send on our UCAS applications, we willingly insert ourselves into a lifelong trajectory. It all starts with the race for a place at medical school. Eventually this evolves into a race for the best possible class ranking at the end of our five year degree. This only further progresses into the race for a spot at our desired hospitals to work as junior doctors. The competitive nature never ends. So is it therefore hard to seek support from our fellow classmates when in reality, theyre also competitors? Does revealing the most intimate parts of our lives only arm them with more ammunition against us?

Were now the smart ones, the perfect and the elite

Or do we keep our problems in the dark because of the constant striving for perfection? We might have left secondary school as the brightest and smartest. In a class of A/A* students however, it is incredibly easy to feel average. So we begin to compare ourselves to each other. We try to outdo each other with more revision and clocking more hours in the lab. The self-doubt inevitably starts to trickle in and we wonder whether weve made the right decision in picking a rigorous degree.

However, Tessa Davies, one of the pastoral tutors within the faculty, reiterates that this is perfectly normal,

Liberty University welcomes first class of MFA students

Posted on by

Lynchburg, Va. (PRWEB) January 14, 2015

Liberty Universitys School of Communication & Creative Arts welcomed its inaugural class of Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) students Friday, Jan. 9, in the Liberty University Art Gallery.

Last semester, the university announced the launch of the Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) and the Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) programs, two of the most prestigious degrees in the arts industries. Both programs are initially being offered through the Department of Studio & Digital Arts (SADA). The B.F.A. will launch in Fall 2015.

In both programs, students can pursue studies in two-dimensional art (with courses such as photography, painting, and drawing), three-dimensional art (with courses such as sculpting and ceramics), and graphic design (with courses in web design, print design, illustration, game design, animation, and new media). The B.F.A. requires 127 credit hours and the M.F.A. 60 credit hours. Both degrees will be available online for the graphic design concentration this fall.

At the inaugural event, faculty and staff reminded the incoming students that they are making history in being the first M.F.A. class at the university.

Dr. Norman Mintle, dean of the School of Communication & Creative Arts, which includes SADA, called the students pioneers in the sense that they are starting something brand new.

The faculty here is committed to nurturing you as an artist, he told the students. We want to help you recognize the creativity God has given you because it is important for you to be to a spiritually inspired artist who delights in what you do because God delights in what you do as an artist.

Mintle also said that this degree is important because it allows students to receive a more focused concentration in their specific art form.

This program will enhance our students professional degrees so they will be more marketable when they graduate, Mintle said. It will also help them bring greater notoriety to the university and to themselves as others begin noticing the work they produce.

Todd Smith, chair of SADA, said the goal of the program is to send students into the art industry prepared for whatever may come their way.
