If you are considering coming to medical school in Kansas City, you have three fine choices. Each offers something special, and is excellent in its own way. Kansas University School of Medicine is based at KU Medical Center , a massive tertiary care center, with top-line high technology. The KU pathology course features a tremendous amount of intense, meaningful student-faculty contact. It's the envy of many other U.S. medical schools.
New students begin seeing patients right away, and are nurtured and supported.
Each student has his or her own office, and each team of students stays together for several years, teaching and learning from one another. You won't have the full four-year undergraduate college experience, but there's still time for humanities, social sciences, and college fun. Many of the medical students join one of the Greek-letter social or service organizations. I'm based primarily at UHS-COM at present, though I continue to teach UMKC students occasionally. Medicine's about people.
