The University of Kansas Medical Center, commonly referred to as KU Med or KUMC, is a medical campus for the University of Kansas. KU Med houses the university's schools of medicine, nursing, and health professions, with the primary health science campus in Kansas City, Kansas. Other campuses are located in Wichita and Salina, Kansas,[3] and is connected with the University of Kansas Health System.

The School of Medicine was formed in 1905, with several Kansas City hospitals being combined within the next ten years. In 1947, the campus was renamed to the University of Kansas Medical Center.[4] The campus began expanding its programs over the next forty years, and on February 27, 1990, the hospital performed its first liver transplant.[5]

In 1997, the state of Kansas was struggling to keep the hospital and its medical campus open so the state legislature passed a bill to sell the hospital, and keep the medical campus for schooling.[6]

Since the state separated with the hospital, the Medical Center has turned its focus on cancer. In 2002, the KU Cancer Center was established, with the help of the Kansas masons.[7] It became a National Cancer Institute-designated in 2012[8] and became a designated "comprehensive cancer center" in 2022.[9]

KU Med teaches it courses in both academic buildings, as well as the hospital. KU Med consists of three schools: the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing, and the School of Health Professions. With three campuses spread out in Kansas, the Medical Center employs 4,084 people, with 1,233 of those being teaching faculty.[10] As of October 1, 2018, the KU Medical Center has 3,695 students enrolled.[1]

The executive vice chancellor is Robert Simari.[11]

The School of Medicine, which officially began in 1905 by the Kansas Board of Regents in Kansas City, was the only medical school in Kansas until 2022. [12]The school offers seven different degree programs, with the only options as master's program or a doctoral program.[13] The other two campuses are in Wichita, which opened in 1971,[14] and Salina.

The School of Nursing began in 1905, as well. It offers six degrees.[15] The school opened its first satellite campus in Salina in 2017.[16]

The School of Health Professions was established in 1974[17] and offers 25 different programs.[18]
