Mission Statement

Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences, a private, not-for-profit institution of higher education founded in 1916, is a key urban partner in the Greater Kansas City community. We are committed to excellence in the education of highly qualified students in osteopathic medicine and the life sciences.

We are a community of students and teachers; scientists and scholars; physicians and health care professionals; administrators and staff, with a common conviction that ability is gained through knowledge; integrity is learned by example; and compassion and empathy are first received and then given.

We are united in our commitment to:

• Developing and sustaining the highest quality educational programs for the preparation of physicians, ethicists and scientists who are leaders in meeting the needs of an ever changing society
• Maintaining a culture which embodies the principles and philosophy of our heritage, exemplifying humane, holistic and compassionate care
• Contributing to the advancement of knowledge through research and scholarly activities
• Developing the potential of students and faculty by sustaining a learning environment, which emphasizes educational and personal values and a striving toward excellence

Fundamental to our mission is the preservation and renewal of human life.
