Many of our residents spend their free time hiking in the local area and traveling to the various nearby National Parks. Within a 30-60 minute drive from the Las Vegas Strip, you can live the stereotypical EM lifestyle—the southern Nevada region offers outstanding opportunities for hiking, trail running, rock climbing, mountain biking, water skiing, and snowboarding/skiing (yes, really … at Mt. Charleston). One of our residents discovered a love of trail running during residency, completing multiple ultramarathons and the Boston Marathon, and another resident recently completed a Spartan Race. A recent graduate spent his days off at a local circus center practicing and perfecting trapeze and acrobatics, established the first EM conference dedicated to Circus Medicine, and now provides medical care to performance artists. Our program is full of foodies who take full advantage of the plethora of dining options available in Las Vegas – and for those who would rather spend a night in, we often host family get-togethers including cookie decorating, grilling, and pool parties. As a major airline hub, Las Vegas is also an easy flight away from just about anywhere in the world.
