Kansas has an MD school and a DO college, and they are very different ages. The University of Kansas School of Medicine (public, Kansas City) was founded in 1905 and also lists Wichita and Salina as sites; the Kansas Health Science Center–Kansas College of Osteopathic Medicine (private, Wichita) dates to 2021 (school list).
The University of Kansas School of Medicine received 4,978 applications for 211 first-year places in 2025-26, and 81.5% of its entering class came from Kansas (AAMC FACTS, Table A-1). The CMS list has nine teaching hospitals in six Kansas cities, among them Wichita and Salina, the other two cities where that school lists sites (CMS teaching hospital list).
| School | City | Degree | Founded | Type | Exam series |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| University of Kansas School of Medicine | Kansas City | MD | 1905 | Public | USMLE |
| Kansas Health Science Center–Kansas College of Osteopathic Medicine | Wichita | DO | 2021 | Private | COMLEX-USA |
Several of these schools teach students at more than one site: University of Kansas School of Medicine also lists Wichita, Kansas, Salina, Kansas.

The University of Kansas School of Medicine teaches in Kansas City, Wichita and Salina. Salina admits eight students a year, which KU calls the smallest four-year medical education site in the country; its students learn with Kansas City and Wichita classmates by interactive video and train in Salina clinics, rural physicians' offices and Salina Regional Health Center (KU School of Medicine-Salina).
Wichita is the large regional campus: KU lists 17 accredited residency and fellowship programs there, 2,711 medical student graduates from 1975 to 2026 and 2,836 resident graduates from 1988 to 2026 (KU School of Medicine-Wichita).
On every campus KU students take Step 1 after completing year two, Step 2 CK during the fourth year and Step 3 after graduation, usually in the first year of residency (KU School of Medicine). That puts the dedicated Step 1 period between the second and third years, and Step 2 CK, the scored exam since Step 1 went pass/fail, inside the fourth year with sub-internships and interviews.
Kansas's osteopathic college is new. Its inaugural class matched 73 of 75 graduates into residency in 2026, a 97.3% match rate, with 40 in primary care and 31 in Midwest programs (TCS Education System).
For the 2026-27 academic year Kansas Health Science University reports first-time COMLEX pass rates of 96.82% on Level 1 and 97.30% on Level 2, and marks both as provisional: Level 1 subject to change, Level 2 pending four results (KHSU).
A college with one graduated class has little history for students to plan by, so we plan by the student's own numbers instead: COMSAE and question-bank scores set the Level 1 date, and shelf results set Level 2-CE.
In the 2025 Main Residency Match, Kansas programs offered 304 positions in 21 specialties. Internal medicine had 98, almost a third of the total, and family medicine 61; surgery and anesthesiology (19 each), obstetrics and gynecology (17) and emergency medicine (13) followed (NRMP, 2025 Main Residency Match results by state and specialty). Internal medicine residents go on to the ABIM exam, and the table above lists how Kansas programs did on it.
The University of Kansas School of Medicine grants the MD, so its students take the USMLE: Step 1, reported pass/fail since January 26, 2022, then Step 2 CK, and Step 3 after graduation (USMLE). LCME lists the school as accredited since before 1942, with its next full survey due in 2029-30 (LCME).
The Kansas Health Science Center–Kansas College of Osteopathic Medicine in Wichita grants the DO, so its students take COMLEX-USA: Level 1, Level 2-CE and Level 3 (NBOME).
In 2023-2025, 96% of 68 first-time takers from the University of Kansas program in Kansas City passed the ABIM internal medicine exam, as did 86% of 36 from its Wichita program (ABIM).
Kansas sets a training rule and an attempt cap, but no clock. For graduates on or after January 1, 2021, the board wants 36 months of approved postgraduate training before a first license, against 12 months for earlier graduates of accredited schools (FSMB). It allows four attempts at each Step or Level and no time limit on the USMLE or COMLEX (FSMB).
| Rule | What Kansas requires |
|---|---|
| Training before first license | Medical graduates on or after January 1, 2021: 36 months of PGT approved by the AMA, AOA, or equivalent; Graduates of accredited medical schools before January 1, 2021: 12 months of PGT approved by the AMA, AOA, or equivalent; Graduates of unaccredited medical schools before January 1, 2021: 36 months of PGT approved by the AMA, AOA, or equivalent |
| Exam attempts | Step or Level 1-4 attempts; Step or Level 2 CK-4 attempts; Step or Level 2 CS-4 attempts; Step or Level 3-4 attempts |
| Time limit | No limit on USMLE or COMLEX |

Many Kansas students rotate, interview or match next door. Kansas's neighbors on our list: Colorado (1 MD, 1 DO), Missouri (4 MD, 2 DO), Nebraska (2 MD, 0 DO), Oklahoma (1 MD, 1 DO).

Its clinical-year terms rank high as well: “USMLE Step 2” and “shelf exam” are both 4th, while “USMLE Step 1” is 10th (Google Trends).

I had the opportunity to work with both Sean and Alex! Sean has helped me for both Level 1 and also Step 2/Level 2! He not only helped me with content and test taking strategies but was also very motivating and helped maintain my stress through both of these challenging times. I have recommended both to many of my friends and will continue! Both helped me reach my goal scores for both board exams and I matched into my #1 residency program and could not be happier!
