Policy limits foreign-educated MDs
University Daily Kansan, April 10, 1984
By United Press International
TOPEKA - A steady stream of foreign-educated physicians flowing into western Kansas could be cut off because of a new policy by the Board of Healing Arts toughening its review of foreign graduates wanting to practice in the state.
Donald Strole, Kansas Board of Healing Arts attorney, said yesterday that the board had adopted a policy to deny Kansas licenses to foreign medical school graduates unless they prove their training is equivalent to that offered at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
The new policy is aimed at graduates of medical schools in developing countries in the Caribbean, Latin America and in Mexico. Strole said.
Few if any medical schools in the countries cited by Strole, including Grenada, meet the standards maintained at the KU medical school, meaning the amount foreign-educated doctors coming into western Kansas could be cut off under the new policy.
"I can't categorically say we've had problems with all people who have been licenced in those schools, but there are other cases," he said. "We've been as competent as others," he said.
"A lot of these (foreign) schools were set up in the last 10 years," Strole said. "Most of their students are American students who were unable to get into American medical schools and who had fallen down there to get a medical degree."
Stole said many of those physicians opt to practice in western Kansas, where most medically underserved counties are located. Those already granted licenses to practice would not be affected by the new board policy.
Strole said there are hundreds of foreign-educated physicians practicing in Kansas, though many graduated from recognized schools of medicine in other countries.
First woman joins state appeals court
By United Press International
TOPEKA — The first woman to sit on the Kansas Court of Appeals, Mary Beck Briscoe, was sworn in yesterday as the appellate court's newest judge.
court.
Briscoe, 36, was appointed last month by Gov. John Carlin to replace Judge Corvin Spencer of Oakley, who retired. She is the first woman to sit on the Court of Appeals and only the second woman to sit on a Kansas appellate
The first woman appointed to an appellate court was Justice Kay McArland of the Kansas Supreme Court, who named gov. Robert Bennett in 1972.
An assistant U.S. District Attorney for Kansas until she resigned last week, Briscoe was described by U.S. District Court Judge Richard Rogers as an "excellent attorney" when he presented her to the court for her oath.
Briscoe is a 1969 graduate of the
University of Kansas with degrees in political science and German. She received her law degree from KU four years later.
She worked in Washington as an attorney for the Interstate Commerce Commission until she was appointed to the U.S. District Attorney's office in Topeka. In 1982, she was promoted to supervisory attorney.
Brisco was one of three finalists for the court vacancy. Her appointment still remains to be confirmed.

Applications due May 1 for summer-term GSLs
By JAN SHARON Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
KU students need to apply for their summer session Guaranteed Student Loan checks by May 1 if they want to use the checks to pay fees June 4, the director of student financial aid said yesterday.
"Even if they apply by May 1, they'd
be pushing it a bit," said Jerry Rogers.
Students would still be able to apply for a GSL after May 1, he said, but they would not receive the money in time to pay fees for the summer session.
The office will accept GSL applications only until about June 15, Rogers said. After that date, students will not be able to attend before the end of the summer session.
Because the money is intended for educational expenses, he said, the financial aid office cannot certify theessions received after the June 15 deadline.
LOAN CHECKS MAY get to students anytime from four to 12 weeks after students apply, he said. The length of time the checks take to reach the student depends on how long the lenders take to process the applications
and how long the federal guarantee agency takes to approve the loan guarantee.
The office must certify all GSL applications before they are sent to the bank and the guarantee agency, Rogers said.
To confirm that students are eligible for the GSL, the students must give the office a statement of income form, the GSL application and a copy of the parents' and students' 1982 summer returns if the students are dependents.
ROGERS SAID THAT students also have made satisfactory academic progress, as set by the office, and must be given their borrowing eligibility for the year.
The amount of money students may borrow for an academic year is determined from the results of information sent to the American College Testing Board for processing at the beginning of the year.
Undergraduate students may borrow up to $2,500 for one academic year, which would include the fall, spring and summer sessions, Rogers said.
$123 MONTH 48 Mos. lease
Students usually get GSL money from their hometown banks, Rogers said, although they can get loans through Lawrence banks.
