In an effort to strengthen its Vallejo and Nevada medical schools, Touro University has reorganized its Western Division and appointed a new senior provost and CEO, officials announced Friday.

Michael Harter, one of the founders of Touro University Nevada, has been tapped to fill the new position.

Under Harter's leadership, the Vallejo and Nevada campuses, previously autonomous, will forge an administrative alliance in health sciences and education, officials said.

Touro's Nevada campus - the largest medical school in its state - is in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson.

Both the Vallejo and Henderson campuses offer programs in osteopathic medicine and physician-assistant studies, in addition to other medical specialties. The schools are part of Touro's 29-campus system.
