Roseman University Launches $10 Million Medical School Scholarship Campaign
HENDERSON, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Roseman University of Health Sciences has launched its $10 million scholarship campaign to support students at its new College of Medicine, following a successful kickoff event May 29 at Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa. The "Rhythm of the Future" campaign addresses Nevada's critical physician shortage while reducing financial barriers for medical students. Nevada currently ranks 48th nationally in physician-to-patient ratio and faces a shortage of 2,500 physicians compared to the national average. "This is more than a campaign. It is a movement of generosity, of vision, and of shared responsibility," said Bryan Lindsey, campaign chair and Roseman Board of Trustees member. "The future of healthcare in Nevada depends on what we build together, and this scholarship fund will ensure that talent—not financial status—determines who gets to become a doctor." The campaign has already secured over $3 million in early commitments, including a $2 million gift from the Engelstad Family Foundation and $500,000 from an anonymous donor. Dr. Pedro "Joe" Greer Jr., founding dean of Roseman's College of Medicine, emphasized the urgency. "Nevada is 2,500 physicians short of the national average. That's not just a gap. That's a canyon," Greer said. "At Roseman, we are training doctors who will not only treat illness, but who will fight inequity and heal entire systems." Roseman's College of Medicine distinguishes itself through community-based learning programs including GENESIS and EMPOWERED, which place students in underserved communities from day one. The campaign coincides with Roseman University's 25th anniversary. Founded in Henderson in 1999 by Drs. Harry Rosenberg, Renee Coffman, and Charles Lacy with $15,000 of personal investment, the university now includes colleges of Pharmacy, Nursing, Dental Medicine, Graduate Studies, and Medicine. "This scholarship campaign represents the next chapter in our mission—ensuring that every qualified student, regardless of background or circumstance, has the opportunity to become a healer," said Dr. Renee Coffman, president and co-founder. The College of Medicine, located at Roseman's Summerlin (Las Vegas) campus, received preliminary accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education in February 2025 and will welcome its charter class of 60 students in July 2025. Scholarship contributions support tuition, fees, educational materials, and learning experiences. For information, visit or contact gmattox@

Roseman University College of Medicine Granted Preliminary LCME Accreditation for MD Program in Las Vegas
Las Vegas' newest allopathic medical school is set to open its doors this July, marking another major step forward in addressing Nevada's critical physician shortage. Roseman University of Health Sciences announced today that its College of Medicine has received preliminary accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), enabling the college to begin recruiting its charter class of 60 medical students for its Doctor of Medicine (MD) program. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: Roseman University of Health Sciences Summerlin Campus, housing the College of Medicine, Bioscience Collaborative, College of Dental Medicine patient clinic, and Cure 4 The Kids Foundation. (Photo: Business Wire) The college will begin accepting applications in early March via the American Medical College Application Service ® (AMCAS). 'The granting of preliminary accreditation by the LCME marks a historic moment for Roseman University and for healthcare education in Nevada,' said Renee Coffman, PhD, president and co-founder of Roseman University of Health Sciences. 'Our College of Medicine, based at Roseman's Summerlin campus, will address the critical physician shortage in Nevada while providing students with a leading-edge medical education that emphasizes competency-based learning and household-centered care.' Roseman's College of Medicine Founding Dean Pedro 'Joe' Greer, Jr., MD, said, 'This achievement reflects years of careful planning and dedication from the university, our faculty, staff, and many community partners who have embraced our mission to align students, educators, and community in designing and delivering an inclusive and collaborative environment for innovative learning, healthcare, and research.' Roseman's College of Medicine features state-of-the-art facilities, including advanced anatomy and medical simulation centers, collaborative learning spaces, and integrated technology for medical education. The MD program will incorporate a character-based curriculum to develop students' character, ethics, and virtue. 'At Roseman University College of Medicine, we recognize that exceptional medical practice transcends technical skills. Our MD program is pioneering a character-based curriculum designed to cultivate compassionate, ethical physicians who understand that humility and integrity are as crucial as medical knowledge,' said Greer. 'By intentionally developing students' character, we aim to produce healthcare professionals who don't just treat diseases but truly care for patients with empathy, respect, and moral courage.' As part of this approach, Greer says the program incorporates clinical training through GENESIS, an innovative household-centered healthcare model launched in 2022 that aligns medical care, public health, and social services to support vulnerable Nevada households. 'Our clinical curriculum is specifically designed to tackle Nevada's unique healthcare challenges. By immersing medical students in underserved areas through community engagement and hands-on experience, we are equipping future physicians with not only exceptional clinical skills but also a deep commitment to serving Nevada's diverse populations. This approach addresses immediate medical needs while also confronting the broader social factors that influence health outcomes.' Greer says Nevada's healthcare landscape continues to face significant challenges: according to the American Medical Association (AMA), all 17 counties report healthcare professional shortages, the state needs 1,113 additional primary care physicians by 2030, and the population is projected to reach 3.5 million by 2035. The college's mission is particularly crucial for Nevada's Hispanic population – the 14th largest in the nation at 28% of the state's population – by helping develop a more diverse medical workforce that reflects the state's communities. Greer says the College of Medicine's ASPIRE program is designed to foster a pool of Nevada students. 'ASPIRE represents our commitment to cultivating medical talent right here in Las Vegas, starting from elementary school through medical school,' said Greer 'By engaging families and providing hands-on learning experiences, we are creating a supportive ecosystem that nurtures students traditionally underrepresented in medicine.' According to a study published in 2023 by Tripp Umbach, by 2040, Roseman's College of Medicine is projected to generate approximately $500 million in economic impact through medical education, research, and clinical enterprise, while supporting approximately 3,400 jobs in the region and generating $27.4 million in state and local government revenue. The college's focus on underserved communities is expected to generate significant healthcare cost savings. Each physician practicing in an underserved area can generate $3.4 million in community cost savings through early intervention and high-quality continuity care. The population health programs delivered by graduating classes working in underserved communities are projected to generate $68 million in annual savings. Prior to achieving preliminary accreditation, Roseman progressed through the LCME's applicant and candidate stages. The LCME visited Roseman's College of Medicine in August 2024, and the college met the standards set by the committee to move to preliminary status. Next, the college will work toward provisional accreditation status after the first class has matriculated, with full accreditation to follow, pending LCME approval. In addition to Preliminary Accreditation by the LCME, Roseman has also secured approval from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) and the Nevada Commission on Post-secondary Education to offer the MD degree.
