Kurt P. Schropp, MD, FAAP

I was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. I attended Creighton University followed by Creighton University Medical School. My general surgical residency was done at the Ohio State University Hospitals, then a pediatrics surgery residency at Columbus Children's Hospital. I went into practice for the first 12 years in Memphis, Tennessee, where I practiced at St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital and the LeBonheur Children's Hospital. In 2002 I was recruited to the University of Kansas Medical Center and have been the general surgery program director since late 2004.

I am married and have 3 children, the oldest in college at TCU, and the youngest in middle school. I have many hobbies, including being a "handyman," running, biking, water and snow skiing. I have a pilot's license that I don't use often and I love SCUBA diving.
