Freeman Health System has a rich history of working with respected medical schools to train tomorrow’s physicians. For decades, Freeman has served as a training ground for third- and fourth-year medical students completing their clinical rotations and medical school graduates completing their residencies. Many Freeman physicians are graduates of Kansas City University. Freeman is extremely pleased to have worked with KCU to open their new satellite medical school in Joplin. With the enrollment of KCU-Joplin’s first year of medical students, Freeman’s tradition of providing medical education facilities, classrooms, programs, preceptors and faculty continues for the benefit of the community.
Excellence in Education
KCU-Joplin’s new building features state-of-the-art facilities and technology, including a new 200-person lecture hall, a cutting-edge patient simulation center and new anatomy and OMM labs. The school’s simulation suite includes 24 standardized patient exam rooms and three simulation rooms featuring high-fidelity, programmable robots in fully equipped medical, surgical, obstetrical and trauma settings. Extended video conferencing capabilities connect the Joplin campus to the Kansas City campus, allowing students, faculty and staff to share learning opportunities.
