Greetings, Welcome to this edition of Discovery Drive. Several things have happened since our last publication. In August, the Board of Trustees approved the creation of Roseman University’s Community Cancer Center. This is the first Center approved by our board that has gone through a rigorous evaluation process established this past year by University administration. Dr. Sanford Barsky, professor and chair of pathology and laboratory medicine, is our inaugural community cancer center director. As we further develop the Center, more information will follow. In June, the College of Medicine learned that the LCME (Liaison Committee on Medical Education) did not grant us Preliminary Accreditation. Of the 93 elements in the required 12 standards from the LCME, we successfully were in compliance with 92 elements, including curriculum, faculty and staff, facilities, student affairs/admissions, clinical affiliations, and overall structure. All of these met their rigorous standards. We had only one element of noncompliance – not having sufficient sustainable financial resources. The University had provided some foundational dollars, but we needed more, according to the LCME. After a conversation with the LCME we now know more specifically what they are expecting our financial target to be. We also understand other schools have gone through tough times during this era of accreditation. Recognizing it has not been unusual for medical schools to be denied accreditation following the first application, we appreciate the support of Roseman University’s Board of Trustees, the University, community partners, and donors who have embraced our mission and patient-centered values as we continue to work towards accreditation and building a premier College of Medicine to serve the healthcare needs of Southern Nevada. In September, we resubmitted our application to create an MD-granting medical school. We are again listed on the LCME website (lcme.org) as an applicant school. As we continue to pursue accreditation, we need your support more than ever. Together we will succeed. With appreciation,

ONLY TOGETHER: Building Roseman's College of Medicine Founded in 1999, Roseman University of Health Sciences has been quietly laying a foundation of excellence and achieving our vision to be a “best in class” institution of higher learning. We are transforming healthcare education by training the next generation of healthcare professionals who serve, collaborate and set new standards in our community. We haven’t done this alone. We have done this working alongside our community partners, by listening to students, creating dynamic partnerships between teacher and student, developing lifelong colleagues and optimizing the power of cross-collaboration and training. 4 | Discovery Drive Winter 2016

A COMMUNITY WITH POOR INDICATORS We all know Southern Nevadans need more physicians. Changing demographics and the evolving healthcare landscape are making the current physician shortage in Nevada even more dire. In a ranking of U.S. states by the number of physicians per 100,000 population, Nevada ranks 48th. Our state’s ranking for physicians in all specialties is also low and it will get worse as physicians retire. Currently, one out of four doctors in Nevada is age 60 or over. We need to provide both our well and sick neighbors with more locally based, talented, compassionate and highly qualified medical partners. While we have made strides in our community to address these indicators, we have more work to do. Roseman University’s College of Medicine is one part of the solution in addressing these needs.

The
Best Teacher is ALWAYS
a Student By Vanessa Maniago
When a journey across nine schools, over 50 medical school and graduate level classes taught, and three countries prepares you for a position and challenge for which you’re perfectly suited, some might say you’ve reached the pinnacle of professional growth. But Dr. Chris Burns, associate professor of biomedical sciences at Roseman University’s College of Medicine, won’t ever stop learning. He’s approached every stop on his colorful journey with an open mind and a desire to evolve his skill set; a fine example of a teacher who truly remains a lifelong student of his profession.
