Smoky Hill was designed from the ground up with the needs of practicing rural family physicians in mind. To date, we have placed 94% of our graduates in rural communities.
At Smoky Hill, we recognize that the needs of one rural community may differ substantially from another. Centrally Located in Salina, Kansas our program is perfectly positioned to produce skilled family physicians for a wide range of community needs. Rural-focused procedural medicine, obstetrics, emergency care, and full-spectrum outpatient experiences are integral to our residents’ training. Our local hospital offers a world-class hospital setting in a non-tertiary care environment, and our residents work closely with both our core faculty and a close-knit community of local specialists to accomplish their educational goals.
