United Pain Urgent Care in Reno collaborates with Yale University

United Pain Urgent Care in Reno is now collaborating with Yale University School of Medicine to host physician assistant students for their clinical experience in Early Didactic Rotations, to learn about chronic and acute pain treatments.

Yale School of Medicine students will be spending the next several months under the mentorship of Dr. Ali Nairizi, according to a May 17 press release.

Dr. Nairizi opened United Pain Urgent Care at 6522 S. McCarran Blvd., Ste. A, in February.

“We are pleased to welcome the Yale University School of Medicine Physician Assistant students to United Pain Urgent Care and Reno Tahoe Pain Associates to experience first-hand patients who are receiving chronic and acute pain treatments in a clinical setting,” Dr. Nairizi said in a statement. “This is an opportunity for them to learn how effective alternative pain treatments can be utilized as we all continue to work on reducing the reliance on opioids and narcotics.”

United Pain Urgent Care bills itself as the region’s first locally owned and operated urgent care specializing in alternative pain treatments.

Early Didactic Rotations will provide each student with opportunities for observation and hands-on training, which will prepare them for the clinical year of training and become an important part of the healthcare team, according to the press release.
