U.S. News ranks KU School of Medicine
#9 in primary care and #16 in family medicine
U.S. News ranked KU School of Medicine #9 in primary care and #16 in family medicine in 2022. This ranking
combines all three campuses of KUSM: Kansas City, Salina and Wichita. Typically, the Wichita campus produces one
of the highest percentages of medical students matching into family medicine in comparison to any other campus
across the country. In the last 30 years, the Wichita campus has had an average of 27% of medical students match
into family medicine. In 2013, the Journal of Academic Medicine published the article “Toward graduate medical
education accountability: Measuring the outcomes of GME institutions,” a one-of-a-kind study by health workforce
researchers at George Washington University. In this study, KUSM-Wichita was ranked #6 in the production of
primary care graduates, #1 in graduates practicing in rural areas and #2 in graduates practicing in underserved areas.
We are proud of our graduates, faculty, residents and medical students who are advancing family medicine and
serving those who need it most.

Welcome to the department - Jeff Beekhuizen, D.O.
Jeff Beekhuizen, D.O., joined the faculty at KUSM-W Family Medicine Residency Program at
Ascension Via Christi on May 1. Dr Beekhuizen graduated from Northwestern College with
degrees in biology and chemistry. He went on to receive his doctor of osteopathic medicine
from Des Moines University - College of Osteopathic Medicine and then completed his
residency in family medicine at KUSM-W Via Christi. He started his career at Northern Navajo
Medical Center in Shiprock, New Mexico, and then moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where he
worked for Christ Community Health Services and served as faculty in its family medicine
residency program. Most recently he has worked internationally in Africa. When asked what
he most looks forward to about teaching in Wichita, he responded, “My time in residency at
Via Christi was very formative personally and professionally. I’m excited to interact with
residents and be involved in their formation as family medicine physicians.”

Record-breaking attendance at the
Department of Family & Community Medicine
2021 Virtual Spring Symposium!
The DFCM hosted its annual Spring Symposium on Friday, April 9, and had a record-breaking attendance of 165.
The focus on dermatology education resonated as an educational need for family physicians. Virtual formatting
allowed for physicians from all over the state to participate. This conference was highlighted by dermatologist
Brandon Litzner, M.D., who kindly answered chat questions throughout the conference as well as presenting two
of the 16 presentations.
Due to outstanding feedback, the department is offering the recorded videos of individual presentations online
at bit.ly/KUFCMSpring21.
KUSM-Wichita preceptors may find the following two presentations especially pertinent:
• “Race and/or Ethnicity in Clinical Presentations” by Scott Moser, M.D. This presentation highlights the new
medical school policy on mentioning race and/or ethnicity in the chief complaint: bit.ly/KUFCMMoserRaceEthnicity
• Special thank you presentation, “There is a Light at the End of the Tunnel”: bit.ly/KUFCMThankYou

Fresh from FM RADIO
(Family Medicine Research and Data,
Information and Outcomes)
The article “Kansas family physicians’ perceptions of
parental vaccination hesitancy,” written by Kale Mills and
Kari Nilsen, Samuel Ofei-Dodoo,
Kari Nilsen, Ph.D., was published in the Kansas Journal of Ph.D. Ph.D.
Medicine using results of a recent FM RADIO survey. The survey explored the perceptions of family physicians
as to why parents in Kansas may be vaccine hesitant. Results of the survey, performed prior to the COVID-19
pandemic, revealed that the most common reason for parental vaccine refusal was fear of long-term
complications. The vaccines most refused were HPV, influenza, and measles, mumps, and rubella. The purpose
of this study was to aid physicians in understanding the reasons behind parental vaccine refusal so that they
could better address parental concerns. The aim is to help combat the rising rates of parental vaccine refusal
which has led to local outbreaks of disease. The full article can be found here: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/
PMC7651789/.
If you are interested in joining the FM RADIO network or would like more information about utilizing FM Radio
for your survey needs, please contact DFCM-W research faculty, Kari Nilsen, Ph.D., at knilsen@kumc.edu and
