Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences' name reflects an ever-broadening mission in educating physicians, scientists and health-care leaders. A private university comprising a College of Osteopathic Medicine founded in 1916 and a College of Biosciences, KCUMB is the oldest medical school in Kansas City and the largest in Missouri.

The University's beautifully landscaped campus on the site of the original Children's Mercy Hospital is just minutes from Kansas City's River Market, the 18th and Vine Jazz District, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, Kansas City's famed Country Club Plaza, Worlds of Fun and Arrowhead and Kauffman stadiums.
