Genesis
Education for Tomorrow's Healthcare
The Roseman University College of Medicine aims to align students, educators, and the community in designing and delivering an inclusive and collaborative environment for innovative learning, healthcare and research.
Consequently, it has made a commitment to addressing the urgent healthcare needs of Southern Nevada by increasing the number of high-quality physicians in the community. Roseman College of Medicine will train physicians who are socially accountable. We believe this can be achieved while simultaneously providing services to medically underserved communities that will positively move the dial on health disparities. Roseman graduates will have high-level clinical skills matched with a robust understanding of how ethical considerations, diversity and inclusion, as well as how social, economic and environmental factors impact health outcomes.
A signature element in our training approach will be students’ participation in Genesis. Through Genesis we will operate six interprofessional health practices, including medical, nursing, pharmacy and dental students, that will offer low-income, medically underserved residents the opportunity to collaborate in educating our students while receiving home-based health and social services. As a result, Roseman graduates will be ready to excel as providers in tomorrow’s healthcare systems.

The Roseman Difference
A Broader Picture of Health
Despite advances in medicine, increased specialization, and the highest per capita health spending of any nation, Americans still experience the growing burden of chronic disease, unsustainable healthcare costs, and persistent inequities in health status. A chief reason for this is that medical education in the United States has traditionally limited its focus to identifying and treating diseases rather than embracing a more comprehensive view of health. Although access to high quality medical care is critically important, today we know that factors like affordable and stable housing, the quality of our schools, access to good jobs with fair pay, eating nutritious meals, engaging in physical activity, and the safety of our neighborhoods have a greater impact on health and well-being than medical services or biological factors alone. We believe in empowering our communities with the knowledge, support, and tools they need to enable everyone to live the healthiest life possible.
