UNR and UMC

As the Clark County Commission struggles with how to turn around the fiscally struggling UMC, one idea that's come up is making the hospital a world class teaching institute. To do that, the commission wants a greater commitment from the state's medical school, which is located at the University of Nevada, Reno. But, recent talks between the school and county commissioners has resulted in some heated debate and commissioners aren't convinced UNR is totally committed to helping UMC improve. We'll talk with a Clark County Commissioner and the former chancellor of higher education about the relationship between UMC and UNR.
