Description of the Institution
The University of Kansas is composed of two major subdivisions; the University of Kansas-Lawrence , and the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC). The University of Kansas Medical Center encompasses the School of Medicine - Kansas City branch which offers both basic science and clinical medical education; the School of Nursing; the School of Health Professions; and the Office of Graduate Studies representing the University's Graduate School. On the Wichita campus, the organizational unit is a branch of the School of Medicine for clinical training in the third and fourth academic years. Community hospitals within the Wichita area provide hospital-based services for the training programs.
Unlike some state university academic health centers, not all health professions education is contained within KUMC. The School of Pharmacy is spread out between the Lawrence, Edwards and Kansas City campuses.
