Wichita Center for Graduate Medical Education Inc

On behalf of the university of kansas school of medicine-Wichita, WCGME administers the Graduate Medical Education program for resident physicians in the city of Wichita, kansas. WCGME's involvement in Graduate Medical Education in Wichita is the result of an effort to operate that used to be three residency programs as one. WCGME is the liaison between the hospital clinical teaching sites and the Medical school academicians (faculty). WCGME is, however, more than a liaison. It coordinates the recruitment of residents, assists in accreditation activities of all the residency programs and approves the program directors who are directly responsible for the various programs. Ultimately the benefit to the city of Wichita and the state of kansas is the provision of well-educated physicians. Primary care physician residents make up over fifty percent of the residents currently participating in the gme program. These physicians will become a vital part of the Medical community upon completion
