The Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV presents The Academy Podcast. The Academy is a personal and professional development program that aims to improve the lives of all those associated with the school through education and information.
In this episode, we have Dr. Marc J. Kahn, dean of the medical school and vice president for health affairs at UNLV, as our guest. He discusses how human connection can impact the future of medical education, the importance of viewing life through a “serendipity lens,” and how he went from managing a restaurant in his teens to now leading a medical school.
Enjoy!
