About the Institution:
Kansas Health Science Center opened one of the nation’s newest medical schools, Kansas College of Osteopathic Medicine, known as KansasCOM, in 2022. As the first college of osteopathic medicine in Kansas, this forward-thinking medical school has the goal of becoming a world-class training hub for osteopathic physicians with the mission to train these osteopathic physicians of the future to provide effective, empathic, and innovative care while optimizing the health of patients and their communities. This includes the goal of expanding health education and healthcare by increasing the number of physicians trained in Kansas, with particular focus on serving the widely distributed communities of rural Kansas, and beyond. KansasCOM’s inaugural class of students (Class of 2026) matriculated in August, 2022. The College has implemented a systems-based curriculum that integrates disciplines and incorporates interactive methodologies and an andragogical teaching philosophy. The College aspires to promote student learning in a way that values people’s differences and provides an inclusive environment, such that students are enthusiastic about providing patient-centered, evidence-based care of the highest quality. KansasCOM leads in a manner that reflects its ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion, community, humility and integrity, innovation, teamwork, and excellence.
KansasCOM is centrally located in the heart of Kansas’ largest city, Wichita, a thriving, diverse center of culture and industry. A college of osteopathic medicine is essential to meet the growing medical needs of rural locations across the United States.The 116,000 square-foot college of osteopathic medicine and research center provides a modern space equipped with the latest technology to deliver high-quality medical education that encompasses an osteopathic skills training center, simulation facility, patient teaching rooms, and expansive lecture halls. Technologically advanced classrooms and labs feature VR, touchscreens, and data analysis tools, enhancing its immersive curriculum along with lounge areas that foster well-being and social interaction.
DO Program
Different from most medical schools, the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) program immerses each student in early clinical experiences starting in their first academic year. Through clinical practice, standardized patient encounters, and human-patient simulation, students gain firsthand experience identifying and addressing patient needs. This program provides opportunities to make a difference in patients’ lives far before clinical rotations. This program’s teachings will also provide students with a foundation to work within any sector of health care they desire, apart from direct patient care positions.
Department of Integrated Biomedical Sciences
Reporting to the Chair of the Department of Integrated Biomedical Sciences, these faculty positions will become part of a dynamic and integral part of the College, focusing on providing a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of biomedical sciences. This KansasCOM department is pivotal in laying the foundational knowledge necessary for future healthcare professionals, particularly those pursuing osteopathic medicine.

Accreditation
Kansas College of Osteopathic Medicine (KansasCOM) has been granted pre-accreditation status from the American Osteopathic Association’s Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA). COCA is the accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education (USDE) for predoctoral education of osteopathic physicians in the United States.
Pre-accreditation, as distinct from full accreditation, permits the KansasCOM to solicit applications and admit students, offer medical instruction within the approved osteopathic medical curriculum, and announce its Pre-Accreditation Status. KansasCOM can be considered for full accreditation status following the graduation of its first class, which it anticipates will occur in May 2026. The attainment of full accreditation status is subject to review and approval by COCA.
