KU School of Medicine-Wichita

We educate doctors for Kansas on our centrally located campus. While the majority of medical schools are tied to a hospital, the Wichita school is unique in that it’s community-based with a reputation for providing medical students with incredible hands-on learning opportunities thanks to more than 1,100 paid and volunteer faculty inside three partner hospitals (Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center, Via Christi Health, and Wesley Medical Center) as well as in doctors’ offices across the state. Wichita medical school graduates stay in Wichita as well as go all over the country for their residency training in specialties such as neurology, vascular surgery, family medicine, oncology, and emergency medicine.

Research on the Wichita campus focuses on improving the health of Kansans through clinical trials and improved care, often in collaboration with other health care professionals.
