SALINA, Kan. (AP) — The first students to enroll in a Salina medical school program that is billed as the smallest of its kind have learned where they will serve their residencies.
The Salina Journal reports that students received the notifications Friday. The University of Kansas runs the four-year program, which has just eight students in each class. Students train over video conferencing, in the offices of rural physicians and at the Salina Regional Health Center.
Tyson Wisinger said he got lots of questions about his experience while interviewing around the Midwest for residencies. He said other medical school students he meets have sounded envious about the clinical experience that he and his classmates received.
He said he wouldn’t change the school he attended “for the world.”
