Senior Scholarship at the University of Kansas
School of Medicine-Wichita
Are you looking for a program that combines comprehensive tertiary care with the academic rigors of a university setting? As a community program in an academic setting, the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita Pediatrics Residency Program offers excellent training to prepare graduates to provide primary care in general pediatrics, in addition to providing a well-rounded education that prepares residents for prestigious fellowship placements.
We are a small, community-based program affiliated with KU School of Medicine-Wichita and thereby combine the best of two worlds—we offer a tight-knit program in a community setting in which to learn and practice pediatrics in a tertiary care facility with diverse pathology and a wide catchment area as the only children’s hospital in the state of Kansas. Starting in year one, residents care for their own personal panel of patients in their continuity clinics; care for hospitalized children in the recently-renovated Wesley Children’s Hospital; rotate through our 15-bed PICU to care for critically ill children under the guidance of 24/7 in-house intensivists; and work one-on-one with a neonatologist to care for some of the more than 6,000 babies delivered annually at Wesley Medical Center. At the same time, all of our residents are engaged in scholarly activity with faculty mentors and have the support of our research team to complete and present their projects locally or nationally.
