The UMKC Family Medicine Residency Program is proudly accredited by both the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). This program has an affiliation agreement with the KCUMB, for post-graduate medical education. This allows AOA residents to receive certification by both the American Board of Family Medicine and the American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians. AOA residents are expected to utilize their osteopathic
skills and knowledge to diagnose and treat patients in the clinics
and hospital. The osteopathic faculty of the UMKC Family Medicine Residency program provide
the lectures, and skills teaching throughout our clinics and didactic
sessions.
Laura Hempstead, DO OPTI Certification: KCUMB sponsors our dually accredited program. This dual certification will give more choices to our program that very few programs can offer. We will continue to expand our program and will give more choices for residents to customize their residency program. We truly have an academic program here at UMKC that is Better by Design. Minimum eligibility criteria for consideration by our program include: 1. Completion of medical school training, an undergraduate/graduate degree, with written evaluation. 2. No history of failing any of the USMLE and/or COMLEX examination steps three or more times. All examinations must have been taken within the last five years.
