Library

The Savitt Medical Library is the academic medical library for the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine. It is currently located on campus in the Pennington Medical Education Building. The library was founded in July 1978, after the medical school converted to a four-year, degree-granting program. It was named for Sol and Ella Savitt after their gift made support for the library and its collection possible. Previously, it was known as the Life and Health Sciences Library and was housed in the Max C. Fleischmann College of Agriculture in 1958.

The Student Outreach Clinic was founded by medical students in 1996, and continues to be operated in cooperation with the Family Medicine Center under the guidance of licensed physicians. The Clinic offers free health care to those without medical insurance. The clinic is made possible by faculty, community physicians and students who donate their time and talent to oversee the clinic, and services include general and acute medical care, gynecological exams, immunizations and discounted laboratory services. A rural outreach clinic also rotates between Yerington, Lovelock and Silver Springs to provide their communities with full-service medical care.
