Contents

In 2017, KCU opened the Farber-McIntire campus, in Joplin, Missouri. [6] The university is developing a College of Dental Medicine on its Joplin campus. [7]

KCU is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission [4] and recognized by the Coordinating Board of Higher Education for the Missouri Department of Higher Education. The College of Osteopathic Medicine is accredited by the American Osteopathic Association's Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation. [8]

History

KCU opened in May 1916 as the Kansas City College of Osteopathy and Surgery. At the time, it was the fifth osteopathic medical school to be established. [9] In January 1921, the college moved its campus to Kansas City's Historic Northeast neighborhood. The Kansas City Campus occupies the original site of Children's Mercy Hospital. [10] In 1940, the Kansas City College of Osteopathy and Surgery took over the assets of the Central College of Osteopathy in Kansas City, Missouri. [11]

In November 1970, the name of the college was changed to the Kansas City College of Osteopathic Medicine, and again in July 1980 to the University of Health Sciences. In 1999, KCU joined with seven other research institutions to form the Kansas City Area Life Sciences Institute, now known as BioNexus KC. As a founding partner and stakeholder institution, KCU has provided biomedical research opportunities within the greater Kansas City area. [12]

In 2004, the College of Biosciences opened and the university's name was changed to Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences. [11] The first students in the College of Biosciences began coursework in the fall of 2005, working towards a one-year master's degree in biomedical sciences. The College of Biosciences later expanded the program to a two-year master's degree. In 2008, the college began offering a Master of Arts in bioethics. Currently, Kansas City University offers two Master of Science programs in Biomedical Sciences: a one-year intensive track for the Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences and a two-year research track for a Master of Science in Biomedical Science Research. [13]

In 2009, the president of the university, Karen Pletz, pursued the possibility of offering a dual DO-MD degree. [14] The idea of a dual DO-MD degree was very controversial and raised concerns within the osteopathic medical community. [15] Several leaders of the profession formally requested the option be abandoned. Pletz was subsequently fired, but refrained from discussing the details of her dismissal as a lawsuit was underway. [14] The lawsuit and firing related to financial disagreements between Pletz and the university. [16] Later that day, Pletz filed a countersuit against the school for alleged wrongful termination. [17] Pletz was indicted by federal prosecutors on March 31, 2011, for embezzling $1.5 million from KCU. [18] Pletz committed suicide on November 22, 2011, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, before the case went to trial. [19] [20]

In January 2014, the university announced a $60 million expansion plan which included a clinical training center, offices, classrooms, and a medical simulation building. [21] [22] As part of this expansion, the university began construction of the Center for Medical Education Innovation (CMEI) on the Kansas City Campus in 2018. This $33 million, 56,000 square feet (5,200 m2) facility includes standardized patient exam rooms, a skills simulation deck similar to many hospital environments, [23] and an advanced osteopathic skills lab. The CMEI opened in 2020. [24] [25]

In 2016, the university broke ground on a second campus in Joplin, Missouri. The first class of medical students on the Joplin Campus began instruction in 2017. The university expanded the Joplin Campus to include a College of Dental Medicine, which offers a 4-year DMD degree. [26] [27]

In 2020, the university was renamed Kansas City University to more accurately reflect the comprehensive health sciences programs available. [28] [29]

Academics

KCU offers graduate degrees in osteopathic medicine, biomedical sciences, clinical psychology, business, and bioethics. It is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission [4] and recognized by the Coordinating Board of Higher Education for the Missouri Department of Higher Education. The College of Osteopathic Medicine is accredited by the American Osteopathic Association's Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation. [8]

College of Osteopathic Medicine

Founded in 1916 as the university's inaugural program, the College of Osteopathic Medicine confers the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree.

The College of Osteopathic Medicine is one of three medical schools in the United States to be recognized twice with the John Templeton Foundation's Spirituality in Medicine Curricular Award, which recognizes outstanding medical education curricula incorporating spirituality in medicine. KCU is also one of three osteopathic medical schools nationwide working to enhance future physicians’ cultural competency and eliminate disparities in health care through a grant from the American Medical Student Association.

The curriculum at KCU's College of Osteopathic Medicine consists of four years of structured training. Training includes didactic learning and standardized patient encounters. The first two years are organized in a modified systems, clinical application-based curriculum. Each system is repeated in years one and two. The first year focuses on normal structure and function, while the second year focuses on disease processes and clinical presentation. [30] Throughout years one and two, students have early clinical exposure in the curriculum through participation in Score 1 for Health (which provides in-school screenings for elementary school children in need), [31] standardized patient encounters, and human patient simulation. During years three and four, students are matched with a preceptor or at a hospital/ward at a KCU-affiliated clerkship site in various specialties of medicine and surgery.

Students at KCU's College of Osteopathic Medicine also partner with local health organizations during the first and second year. First and second year students can apply to be student doctors and scribes, working with attending physicians, at KC Care Health Center, a local clinic providing health services to financially underserved populations in Kansas City, MO. [32]

The College of Osteopathic Medicine offers dual-degree programs including a DO/Master of Arts in Bioethics and a DO/MBA in Health Care Leadership, which is offered through a partnership with Rockhurst University’s Helzberg School of Management. [33] Dual-degree students complete both programs in four years and graduate with other members of their KCU class. [34]

College of Biosciences

The College of Biosciences was established in 2005 and currently offers two Master of Science programs in Biomedical Sciences: a one-year intensive track for the Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences and a two-year research track for a Master of Science in Biomedical Science Research. [13]

Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program

KCU's Clinical Psychology Doctoral (PsyD) Program is a five-year, practice-oriented program. Students are exposed to a broad base of discipline-specific knowledge and trained in profession-wide competencies set by the American Psychological Association. KCU offers the only PsyD program in Missouri or Kansas.

College of Dental Medicine

The College of Dental Medicine on the KCU-Joplin campus had its first D1 class in June 2023. [7] [35]

The program screens up to 13,000 children for vision, dental, hearing, blood pressure, height, weight and more every year. Registered nurses follow up with children who have a referral and their families to connect them to health resources in the community. [44]

Notable College of Osteopathic Medicine alumni

Since 1916, KCU produced more than 10,500 graduates. [45] Of KCU osteopathic physician alumni, about 70 percent practice primary care medicine, and 40 percent practice in rural settings. [46]
