The University of Kansas Hospital is the major educational institution
for the University of Kansas School of Medicine. The hospital is a
584-bed tertiary care medical center with a full complement of supporting
clinical departments and ancillary services. It is a Level I Trauma
Center and is home to the only regional burn center.
Clinical experience at KU Med is the cornerstone of our residency training program because of its opportunities for residents to learn under the mentorship of both clinical investigators and medical educators, while caring for a patient population which includes tertiary care referrals from physicians throughout the region, as well as the local, culturally diverse primary care population.
The Kansas City Veterans Affairs Medical Center is a large tertiary
care hospital located approximately six miles east of KUMED in Kansas
City, Missouri. The hospital provides state-of-the-art diagnostic
and treatment facilities. Staff physicians and consultants of the
Department of Medicine at the KCVAMC are University of Kansas faculty
members.
The Dwight D. Eisenhower Veterans Affairs Medical Center includes
a 38-bed general medicine and surgical hospital, a 40-bed nursing
home, and a 202-bed domiciliary. It is located an easy driving distance
from KUMED in Leavenworth, Kansas. All of the teaching staff are
