Rural Kansas communities may be getting more doctors because of efforts by the KU Medical Center to recruit rural applicants and to acquaint medical school students with rural communities and their health care needs.
D. Craner Reed, vice chancellor of the Wichita branch of the Med Center, recently told the Kansas City Star that Kansas was "very much ready" to host 1,328 shyraycats, overall, triplen by the university.
The situation may be improving, however. Chancellor Archy Dekes has said that more than 140 new doctors established practices in Kansas last year.
Current and planned Med Center programs also are aimed at increasing that
A year ago, only 55 western Kansas students, 23 of whom were accepted, applied to the school of medicine. This year, 73 students received for admission and 41 were accepted.
1. FETTERS of acceptance were sent to 225 students. The class size will shrink to 200 by the time classes begin in the summer and will be drawn by some of the accepted students.
David Waxman, vice chancellor for student affairs at the Med Center, said he hoped some students from rural Kansas would return there to practice medicine.
are very much needed and because they are very well received."
Joseph Meek, director of the office of rural health affairs at the Med Center, said that although there seemed to be a trend toward more people at the Med Center graduates still left the state.
His office has several programs designed to encourage physicians to remain in Kansas, he said. In addition, qualified medical school applicants from rural areas are being recruited. Last month, a medical advocacy team visited five high schools, including one in Coeffeyville, and talked with their interested in health care professions.
Recruiters from the Med Center also talk with college students about careers in medicine, he said. At the Med Center, there are 600 medical colleges of rural communities in several ways.
"THIS PROGRAM is primarily aimed at rural students," Meek said, "to get them feel they have a chance and to let them know that we are interested in them."
This spring a rural health weekend for third-year students was begun, Meek said. A student would spend four days with a doctor in a small community, live in the doctor's home and observe the doctor's work.
A PRECEPTORSHIP program also places students in rural communities. Senior students are required to spend four weeks working with a doctor in towns that range from under 5,000 to more than 40,000 in population.
In another effort to bring small communities and future doctors together, the Med Center last September sponsored Kansas Health Day. Representatives of more than 70 Kansas communities came to the Med Center to talk with students.
Meek called the day "very successful."
Meek called the day "very successful." Bringing high quality medical care to all children must be accomplished through decentralizing educational and support services, he said.
Under a proposed Affiliated Family Practice Residency Program, residents would spend their first year of training in one of four areas. In the third years would be spent in one of four other cities around the state. Salina, Garden City and McMinnville would also as possible training locations. Meek said
REED TOLD the Star that doctors tended to practice within a 30-mile radius of where they completed their residency.
While the residents sought training in new cities, they also would work in smaller areas.
Funding for the Affiliated Family Practice Residency Program is now under consideration by the legislature, Waxman said.
The program has the support of Gov. Robert Bennett, and Meek said he thought the chances of its passage were good.
Dykes has said that two sites for training residents under this program could be in operation by July 1. Four locations could be in operation by summer 1978.
Another plan that would bring needed medical care to rural areas, Meek said, would be three or four regional centers for the integration of medical schools in Kansas City and Wichita.
Faculty members would be based at the centers to provide continuing education for them.
The centers also would provide specialized patient care such as rehabilitation, dialysis and care for those with chronic diseases.
Deposits on KU's cans would add to drink cost
Requiring a deposit on all beverage containers sold at the University of Kansas would cost KU students annually, annually, KU sending manager, said recently.
The increased cost would occur if KU, as a state agency, or Lawrence, as a municipality, followed a federal proposal that required that cans and bottles used for beverages.
Additional costs to students also could result if the term beverage were expanded to include canned and bottled items like peaches and cranberry juice. Jolly said,
The higher cost to KU students would occur Jolly said, because KU vendring services would have to pass the five-cent denoit charge on to consumers.
KU students now consume about 11,000 drinks a week from KU vending services, Jolly said, adding that the cost of these drinks is around $30 or 30 cents a drink with the proposed deposit.
A bill that failed in the Kannan Legislature this session, used such a broadband mandate as to be illegal.
REQUIRING DEPOSITS on beverage
A required deposit and recycling of cans and bottles also would result in large energy savings.
Today, he said, because of cheap energy and raw materials, manufacturers spend less money making new bottles than recycling old ones.
containers, both cans and bottles, could reduce a large amount of trash.
But as energy becomes more expensive and is needed in other areas, people will need to recycle cans and bottles to preserve resources. Allen said.
JOLLY SAID that a required deposit would have benefits, but that an in-depth study was needed before any action was taken. The Environmental Protection Agency.
"We need to look into the recycling of our bottles and canns," he said, "but present proposals for recycling are based more on popularity than on study.
"No one has even looked into whether we would be using just as much energy to send trucks to collect all the bottles and cans in our storage, saving through the recycling process."
