Rural doctor shortage
KU Medical Center students and hospital residents will be able to meet with community representatives about job opportunities in small Kansas towns at the Med Center's Kansas Health Days program. KU Medical Center is located in Kansas City, Kan., and Kansas City, Mo.
David Waxman, chairman of the Kansas Health Days committee, said Tuesday that the purpose of the program was to give community representatives the chance to help with the needs of professionals to help ease a medical help shortage in small towns and rural areas.
Community representatives will be able to register for display booths tonight at Battlenet Auditorium on the Med Center campus.
TOMORROW'S activities feature morning group and panel discussions with resident physicians at the Med Center, and community booth displays in the afternoon at the Radisson Muehlebach Hotel in Kansas City, Mo.

Waxman said that, although communities might be actively recruiting residents and graduates to fill jobs, the program also was not enough. "Who hadn't completed his degree yet."
He said early recruiting would introduce small-town medical practice to undergraduates before they had made up their minds to specialize.
COMMUNITIES HAVE never before actively recruited health care professionals, Waxman said, especially on such a large scale. He said communities usually wrote letters and arranged visits for prospective health care professionals.
Lawyers, doctors, bankers and hospital administrators will be representing more than 70 Kansas communities. Fifty-six booths will be set up tomorrow afternoon to introduce the towns through pictures and slide shows.

Waxman said the Med Center was interested in solving the problem of the lack of health professionals in small towns, but others also had asked to be represented.
