Since our inception,KHSU has been intentional in recruiting
students who are committed to serving the medically underserved.
While academic excellence is essential, students must also embody
tenacity, empathy and a dedication to service key qualities in
advancing our mission.
To attract the brightest and best-student doctors,
KHSU offers a variety of scholarships
created by generous donors.
Medical school debt often deters doctors from
practicing in areas with the greatest need and pushes them
toward areas with high-paying jobs Scholarships empower future
doctors to choose careers based on impact, not salary.
Reducing ninancial stress also helps students stay
mentally health succeed in school, and have greater success
in their carriers.
Preparing Doctors for
Tomorrow
Becoming a physician requires 4 years of medical school
followed by an additional 3-7 years of residency training.
meaning today’s student doctors are preparing now to
care for patients nearly a decade into the future. KHSU
prepares student doctors to continuously evaluate and
consider advanced technologies’ ability to enhance their
medical practice and improve patient outcomes.
KHSU was built with the understanding that advanced
technologies are the future of health care. We have a vision
to be at the forefront of where medicine and technology
intersect. KHSU prepares future doctors to use new
technologies while still focusing on patient care. Norm-
bending advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are
transforming medicine, and KansasCOM teaches the
benefits, limits, and ethical considerations of medical Al.
Anchored in Downtown
Wichita
Leading the development of Wichita’s Biomedical Corridor in
downtown Wichita, KHSU’s state-of-the-art campus is housed in
116,000 square feet of the completely remodeled historic Innes
Building. Once home to Macy’s Department Store, the transformed
space boasts a clinical training floor complete with modern inpatient
and outpatient simulation centers, advanced holographic biomedical
sciences and anatomy laboratories, a medical library with access to
thousands of journals, technology-enabled study rooms, and the best
in classroom technology.
Medical education requires more than a great facility; the right tools,
faculty, and partnerships prepare students for real-world challenges.
With hundreds of clinical partnerships across the state of Kansas,
student doctors gain real-world experiences and are prepared for
residency.
Commited to Kansas
Communities
Doctors tend to practice where they are raised, where they
attend medical school, or where they cornplete their residency.
To recruit and retain doctors who meet the needs of Kansas,
KHSU aims to impact all areas through partnerships, residencies,
state and federal advocacy, community development, and more.
KHSU is proud to have established its first Medical Education
(MedEd) Hub in southwest Kansas and anticipates growing the
number of hubs across the state. Working closely with local community
partners to conduct and evaluate research, the MedEd Hub addresses
solving the shortage from developing local students for careers in
medicine to immersing student doctors in rural
communities and a specialized track for rural medicine and
even supporting physicians in practice.
