Introduction
What is the proper roll for government in society? Policy makers constantly wrestle with this question as they attempt to address issues of concern to their communities. In many areas the private sector is acknowledged as more efficient and innovative than the public sector, as history has shown governmental regulation and control over industries and sectors of the economy often yield dismal results. However, there is still much debate and large swathes of the US economy are still fall under sway of the state and/or federal government. Two notable such areas are Education and Healthcare, and, most especially, the education of healthcare workers. The state of Nevada presents a unique opportunity to compare and contrast two differing styles of Medical education. This alternating dance of competition and cooperation between the two schools, pardon the pun, of thought serve as a microcosm to similar movements playing out across the country and will be the focus of this paper.
