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.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
