Department of Internal Medicine

Welcome to the website of the University of Kansas Department of Internal medicine. The Department of Internal Medicine strives to achieve excellence in its three-fold mission of teaching, research, and patient care. Our department is committed to providing outstanding clinical service to its patients and the community, exceptional medical education for medical students, residents, and other health professionals, and innovative research to expand the frontiers of biomedical knowledge and clinical practice.

The location of this program within the University of Kansas Medical Center offers unique opportunities for broadening the training experience of our resident through the excellent facilities at the University of Kansas Hospital and the Kansas City Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

We, at the University of Kansas School of Medicine, are extremely proud of our graduates and welcome your interest, your application, and extend to you an invitation to visit our program to learn first-hand about the opportunities which may exist for you here. The house staff at this institution is characterized not only by high academic achievement, but by their collective enthusiasm, maturity and mutual support. The quality and dedication of one's fellow residents, with whom you may share a commitment to the mastery of Internal Medicine over the course of the training experience, greatly enriches the overall experience inherent in our program.

The cornerstone of our residency program is teaching at a level of excellence which fosters excitement and enthusiasm by those in our residency training program. Our Program Directors are outstanding advocates for the residents. Each faculty member is active in clinical practice and teaching, and some of our faculty are involved actively in patient-centered or basic investigation. Not only are our faculty recognized for institutional, national, and international academic and educational pursuits, the ABIM has praised them for their commitment to teaching after their last site visit.

I hope you will find our website informative, and gives you a glimpse of what makes KU such a strong training program. We look forward to the opportunity to meet you and show you in more detail our commitment to resident training, education, and academic accomplishment here at the University of Kansas.
