College of Medicine Facts
Leadership Jay A. Perman, M.D., Dean and Vice President for Clinical Affairs Dean Jay A. Perman received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1968 from Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., and a Doctor of Medicine degree with Distinction in 1972 from Northwestern University in Chicago, Ill. Following completion of his residency in pediatrics at Northwestern University Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago in 1975, he completed a fellowship in pediatric gastroenterology at Harvard Medical School and at the Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Boston, Mass., in 1977. In addition to providing leadership as Dean to the UK College of Medicine, Dr. Perman is also serving the larger University of Kentucky community as Vice President for Clinical Affairs. History In 1956 the Kentucky General Assembly approved an initial appropriation for the construction of the University of Kentucky Medical Center and the creation of a medical school. The planning and development for the University of Kentucky Medical Center began under the direction of William R. Willard, M.D., who was appointed Vice President of the Medical Center and Dean of the College of Medicine. The Medical Sciences Building was completed in 1960 and in that same year the University enrolled its first medical school class. Four years later, the College of Medicine graduated its first class of 32 students. Since then, 3,391 medical students have earned the M.D. degree from the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. College of Medicine Mission, Values, and Vision The mission of the College of Medicine is to assume a leadership role in addressing the health care needs of the Commonwealth and to be preeminent among medical schools in selected areas of education, research, and service. The College of Medicine values:
The Vision of the College of Medicine is to:
Basic Science Clinical Science Centers People As of Fall 2004: M.D. Class of 2008 With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the College of Medicine in the early 1990s set out to redesign the medical curriculum to better prepare physicians for the practice of medicine in the 21st century. The effort resulted in the Kentucky Medical Curriculum, a recognized model for other medical colleges around the nation. The curriculum emphasizes early clinical experiences, integration of the basic and clinical sciences, and innovative teaching and learning methods such as problem-based learning, small-group tutorials, standardized patients, . computer-assisted instruction, clinical training models, and interactive lectures and laboratory exercises. Special Academic Opportunities for Medical Students College of Medicine alumni practice in 96 of Kentucky's 120 counties and in every state of the continental United States. The University of Kentucky Medical Alumni Association provides numerous networking opportunities to enable medical school and residency program graduates to keep in touch with each other and the college.
Number of contact hours: 56,099.75 Number of courses offered: 193 Tuition and Fees 2003-2004 tuition and mandatory fees: For Residents, $17,040.00 ; For Nonresidents, $35,532.00.Student Financial Aid Currently, 73 percent of all UK medical students receive some form of financial aid and 72 percent benefit from scholarship awards.Rural Health Care and Education Clinical Outreach: Faculty physicians conduct clinical outreach activities throughout Central, Southern, and Eastern Kentucky, affording thousands of citizens in Kentucky's smaller and more remote communities greater access to specialist care. Center for Rural Health: Established in 1990, the Center for Rural Health in Hazard, Kentucky, aims to improve the health of rural Kentuckians and strengthen rural communities. The center provides educational programs in nursing, clinical laboratory sciences, and physical therapy, as well as a family practice medical residency. CRH's research and evaluation agenda includes rural health policy analysis, workforce needs assessment, and evaluation of community empowerment. In 2000 the National Rural Health Association named the University of Kentucky Center for Rural Health the Outstanding Rural Health Program in the United States. Rural Training Tracks: The Department of Family Practice extends its patient care and teaching effort to an off-site outpatient clinic and residency program in Hazard, Kentucky. The clinic is operated through the Center for Rural Health. Other rural training programs for residents have been established in Corbin, Kentucky, and Morehead, Kentucky. Area Health Education Center (AHEC) Program: The College of Medicine operates the Area Health Education Center programs in collaboration with the other four colleges of the Medical Center. Medical students and residents participate in the AHEC program, living and working in an underserved region of Kentucky as part of a rotation experience, often with a primary care focus. AHEC rotations provide students the opportunity to learn under the direction of community-based faculty members. During the 2002-2003 academic year, College of Medicine students and residents participated in over 300 rotations in AHEC sites. Kentucky Telecare (KTC): The College of Medicine's telemedicine program extends finite health care resources to medically underserved Kentuckians through direct care and educational programs. During the 2002-2003 academic year, KTC delivered over 900 clinical encounters, connecting UK clinicians with patients in outlying areas. During the same period, educational contact hours provided to regional health care practitioners exceeded 23,000. While KTC began as a telemedicine effort for Eastern Kentucky, it has served as a catalyst for the formation of the statewide Kentucky Telehealth Network, linking the state's two academic medical centers to one another and to regional hospitals and clinics throughout the state. Kentucky Telecare serves as a model for other telemedicine programs around the country and is leading the country in the application of telehealth to prepare for, and respond to, terror threat to America.
