I agree.United States of America Congressional Record PROCEEDINGS AND DEBATES OF THE 100th CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION Vol. 133 WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1987 No. 132 Senate UNIVERSITY OP NEVADA SCHOOL OF MEDICINE Mr. HECHT. Mr. President, the Uni-versity of Nevada School of Medicine is a young, dynamic institution which offers diverse educational opportuni-ties to Nevadans. The school conducts premiere scientific investigations, con-tributing to the quality of health care delivery in Nevada. The Medical school works with State and private agencies to enhance the overall qual-ity of health care delivery in Nevada and the overall quality of life of Ne-vada's citizens. With a visionary look to the future, the School of Medicine had developed progressive programs in nutrition and geriatrics and has incorporated the teaching of ethical decision making into many aspects of its curriculum. On the scientific front, the school has gained a national reputation for its faculties work in smooth muscle physi-ology and pharmacology and in virolo-gy and immunology. The school offers the State's only program in speech pa-thology and audiology and has a well developed program in medical technol-ogy. Nevada's School of Medicine is proud of its affiliations with hospitals statewide. These hospitals provide the clinical resources necessary in plan-ning high-quality, diverse educational opportunities. Its students are the school's greatest resource. They are capable, talented men and women who have demon-strated not only their academic talents but also their ability to relate to people as compassionate care givers. It is this relationship?the doctor/pa-tient relationship?which the Universi-ty of Nevada School of Medicine sees as tantamount in the preservation of medicine as the noblest and most ex-citing of all professions.
