With exceptional faculty, top-ranked programs and groundbreaking research institutes and centers, KU Medical Center embraces excellence. Our hard work aims to improve health, not only in our state but also in our region, nation and world.
Why Kansas? In a state often recognized for wheat and and The Wizard of Oz, the University of Kansas Medical Center has achieved national acclaim for its health education and research.
In the heart of the Heartland, KU Medical Center maintains three separate campuses: an urban environment in Kansas City, Kansas; a big city with rural roots in Wichita; and special emphasis on rural health in Salina.
The University of Kansas in Lawrence is a one-hour drive from the Kansas City campus and about twice that time to Wichita and Salina. Separated by distance but not by purpose, the University of Kansas maintains an illustrious and historic reputation in many artistic, scientific and career-launching fields.
