2015 Renown Health Annual Report | Page 28

MORE EXCITING PARTNERSHIPS ON THE HORIZON 26 Renown is reaching beyond U.S. borders to support our goal of increasing the number of physicians practicing in our region. We recently partnered with St. George’s University (SGU) — a leading independent, international medical school — located in Grenada, where students will work at Renown. Students from SGU are already completing their training at other top-notch medical centers around the U.S. SGU is the No. 1 provider of doctors into first year U.S. residencies for the last five years. 27 Experience has shown that medical trainees who study and train in Reno often stay in the area to practice. This partnership will help our collective efforts to increase the number of healthcare professionals practicing in the region. COMMUNITY AND PARTNERSHIPS
