Why Kansas Needs a Residency Program

• Our state's ability to recruit and train new physicians is very important to the quality of care available to us.
  
  
• 70% of Kansas counties depend on physicians who graduated from the Wichita Center for Graduate Medical Education (WCGME).
  
  
• Thousands of Medicaid and uninsured patients are seen each year at WCGME-sponsored residency clinics.
  
  
• Over the past five years, more than half of the graduates from WCGME have stayed in the state to serve Kansans.
