Why KU?
After spending a month with KU as a sub-intern, I knew I wanted to call Kansas City home! The entire department was incredibly welcoming and supportive, and it was easy to see the sense of teamwork and comradery amongst the residents. I was so impressed with the well-rounded operative experience KU offers.
