University of Kansas (Wichita) Program
About This Program
A community-based program affiliated with KU School of Medicine-Wichita combines the best of two worlds! With all the benefits of being part of a university in an academic environment, residents learn and practice at Wesley Children's Hospital, a tertiary care facility with a wide catchment area and the only children's hospital in the region. Caring for a wide variety of patients and having an increasing amount of autonomy, our graduates are well-prepared for general practice or sub-specialty.
