Med Center encourages family practice physicians
By MARION ABARE
Staff Writer
TOPEKA-To help relieve medically underserved areas, the University of Kansas Medical Center expects 1880 to be filled with medical positions devoted to primary patient care.
Kugel defended a primary care physician as one who served the patient first—a family practice physician, a pediatrician, internist or obstetrician.
Robert B. Kugel, executive vice chancellor, presented this goal yesterday before a special legislative committee on public health and welfare.
THERE ARE 75 first-year primary care residents now, he said and 12 residencies will be added next July as part of the parity program. The Youth Practice Residency Program (IFRP),
Kugel said the mechanics for adding the full complement of residencies was within the grasp of the Med Center if funding were provided.
Jack D. Walker, chairman of the Med Center's department of family practices, said there were 73 available family practice centers compared to virtually none five years ago.
The IFPRP calls for a resident to take his first year in an approved program at Kansas City or Wichita and two years in a smaller community such as Salina, Hutchinson, Hays or Topeka. The intent of the program is to get more doctors for Kansas students who studies in a community for two years may decide to practice there, he said.
WALKER SAID additional approval and
uuring were needed to implement IPFRP,
which could be implemented in the
planned phase.
residents for the first year have already been funded.
Funding is needed to add 12 positions in both 1978 and 1979. other needs are development of faculty, living places, a building for ambulatory practice, community commitment and residency board approval.
State Sen. W, H. H. "Wes" Sowers, RWichita, chairman of the special legislative committee on public health and welfare, recommended a data-collection program be mandated in order to learn the location of health-care professionals, their area of specialty and age, to provide a workable definition of an underserved area.
Cramer Reed, dean of the School of Medicine, Wichita branch, said, that greater use in rural areas of the physician extender was one way to improve total health care. A physician extender is sometimes called a physician's assistant, nurse clinician or nurse practitioner, he said.
HE OR she is usually a registered nurse, Reed explained, who has received special training to help augment services normally provided by physicians.
Reed said a 12-month nurse clinicians program at Wichita State University had 51 students who were enrolled.
Reed said problems associated with physician extenders included getting approval for some types of hospital privileges and examining state laws that are inadequate to regulate and control extenders. He said a joint board comprising members from the State Board of Healing or the state's State Nursing Board set these rules.
Walker said, "If we're going to produce more doctors then in order to keep them,
more than half the battle is at the local level."
A COMMUNITY must look at its resources and could regionalize like KansasPanther
Kugel said midwesterners underplayed what they had to offer, "Kansas Health Day," stated for this fall, will help give students a chance to themselves to students and residents, he said.
Jesse Rising, of the Department of Continuing Education, said, "Some of the most attractive lifestyles I've seen have been in rural areas and students need to see the
Rising said KU medical students had voted unanimously to continue the precompetition program. This allows an anesthesiologist a special 6-month working with a doctor in the state.
