The University of Kansas Medical Center has a long standing tradition of training residents for almost 90 years. A total of about 100 physicians are currently training in the Department of Medicine. In addition to many primary care patients, others may have a specialty-directed problem as their major health concern. There are also Cardiac and Medicine Intensive Care services. Consultation services are available in most medicine subspecialties at both institutions.
Rotations are one to two months in length.
At Bethany Medical Center the majority of rotations are on General Internal Medicine services with Cardiology and Pulmonary Rotations also available. The KU Children's Center manages approximately 35000 outpatient visits and approximately 2,100 inpatient admissions per year. Residents rotate through the various outpatient services in the pleasant environment of the newly renovated H.C. Miller Building as well as the several inpatient services, the full term nursery, the neonatal intensive care unit and the pediatrics intensive care unit. Additional opportunities are available through Pediatric Radiology, Ophthalmology, Neurosurgery, Urology, Orthopedic Surgery, Pediatric Surgery and Plastic Surgery. The Pediatrics Ambulatory Program provides exposure to health care maintenance problems, and subspecialty outpatient clinics.
