KU Medical Center Seniors Choose from Top Internships
By Mary Hodson
Internships have been announced for medical students graduating this year at the KU Medical Center (KUMC).
"We are way above the national average this year in the amount of top internships our students will be getting." Dr. John E. Chapman, assistant dean of the medical school, said.
Out of a graduating class of 101, 92 per cent received appointments to their first or second choice. Last year, from a national standpoint, 70 per cent of the students received their first choice and 84 per cent were placed within their first two choices.
This year about 83 per cent of our graduating seniors will intern in their first choice and 92 per cent will intern within their first two choices, Dr. Chapman said.
"This indicates the high regard held for KU graduates in hospitals where competition is keen," Dr Chapman said.
"Those in the eight per cent category that didn't receive their first or second choices were applying to the top hospitals in the nation." Dr. Chapman continued. "Most of these, I would say, received excellent offers."
The graduating seniors will become doctors the moment they get their degree. Then they will travel to hospitals in all parts of the country for their internship. One will go as far as Honolulu, Hawaii.
Some students will intern at Harvard Surgical Hospital, Johns Hopkins Hospital, the New England Medical Center, Walter Reed Hospital, Duke Medical Hospital, and the Los Angeles County Hospital.

Heavy snow fell in the Upper Midwest and a sudden thaw could produce one of the worst floods in the region's history.
"These are only some of the hospitals our students will be going to." Dr. Chapman said. "About 25 others will intern in the Kansas City area. Nine will stay at KUMC and eight others will go to the Wichita hospital."
There are three types of internships a medical student can choose from. These are rotating, straight, and mixed internships.
In the rotating internship, the doctor will rotate his work in all the services of the hospital. A doctor who has chosen straight internship will concentrate on one service. He may choose medicine, pediatrics, surgery, etc. The mixed internship provides six months emphasis in a major service during the first part of his internship and the last six months he works in a mixture of services.
Internship lasts for one year. After completion of it the doctor has three choices for the future. He may go into practice, into military service for his two year obligation, or into residency.

Season Flowers Given to Offices
Many offices of the University received bouquets of snapdragons Tuesday, delivered by buildings and grounds department men.
Harold E. Biltch, landscape architect for KU, said, "We grow three crops of flowers each year, a crop in the spring, summer and fall." He added that these flowers are delivered to offices throughout the University during the spring season.
Flowers cannot be delivered to all offices in the University. They are distributed to the offices from a list supplied to the buildings and grounds department." It would take 20 times the size of our greenhouse to supply every office of the University," Blitch said.
