Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kan., has formed an admissions partnership with Kansas Health Science Center-Kansas College of Osteopathic Medicine in Wichita with the goal of addressing the physician shortage, KFDI reported July 22.
The agreement will allow select students at FHSU to begin their first year of medical school at KHSC-KansasCOM while finishing their senior year of undergraduate studies. KHSC-KansasCOM is the first private, nonprofit osteopathic medical school in Kansas, the report said.
FHSU students who meet course and admission requirements will be able to begin transitioning to the medical school in the summer of 2024.
