Medical Student Programs
Mercy + ME
Our program seeks to provide qualified fourth-year medical students from various backgrounds exposure to medical education, clinical experience and research opportunities in academic medicine at Children's Mercy Kansas City. Students from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply including those with a range of lived experiences, those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged and first-generation college students.
Children's Mercy Hospital is the host site for the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine Pediatric Clerkship. Clerkship students also rotate through the NICU at University Health.
Currently enrolled medical students at accredited allopathic or osteopathic medical schools may request for an elective rotation or sub-internship at Children's Mercy.
University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) medical students who are interested in ongoing research participation must first obtain permission from the associate dean for curriculum at UMKC School of Medicine.
