Friends University announced a partnership with the Kansas College of Osteopathic Medicine (KansasCOM) to benefit students pursuing a health science degree.
KansasCOM is part of the Kansas Health Science Center (KHSC) and is the first private, nonprofit osteopathic medical school in the state.
“We are pleased to partner with KansasCOM to offer our health science students the opportunity to continue their professional medical studies in a new state-of-the-art facility,” said Dr. Amy Bragg Carey, president of Friends University.
Located in downtown Wichita, KansasCOM will welcome its inaugural class this August. A select number of Friends students may accelerate their career path with a 3+4 program. This program allows highly qualified students who meet KansasCOM admission requirements the opportunity to apply for, and begin, their first year of medical school in their senior year of undergraduate studies.
Beginning in the spring of 2023, facilitating the transfer of Friends University health science majors to KansasCOM will help qualified and trained physicians to be workforce ready.
