At the UMKC School of Medicine, we advance the health of our community through cutting-edge research and innovative, patient-driven medical education. The School of Medicines story starts with a collective vision and spirit of partnership, resulting in an academic medical center that partners with six of the best hospitals in the region to provide its students with early patient interaction and high quality medical training.

Responding to an ever-growing need, we are proud of the more than 3,200 graduates who serve their communities. Our program admits the majority of its almost 700 students into the combined baccalaureate-MD program. Hallmarks of our program are in-depth peer and physician mentoring in docent teams, application of state-of-the-art technology, and team-based care. In fact, our program offers more patient contact than most other medical programs in the nation.

The School of Medicine continues to seek new ways to address health care needs through graduate and allied health masters programs. The School offers masters level programs for anesthesia assistants, physician assistants, health professions education and bioinformatics. It also provides almost 50 post-graduate programs for more than 500 residents and fellows in partnership with our six affiliates: Truman Medical Centers, Childrens Mercy Kansas City, Saint Lukes Hospital of Kansas City, Center for Behavioral Medicine, the Kansas City Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Research Medical Center.
