HEARTLAND DERMATOLOGY
The KAT Residency Program at Heartland Dermatology.
The KAT (Kansas Access Track) Program seeks to contribute to providing accessible dermatologic care throughout Kansas.
A RESIDENCY PROGRAM DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE AND GUIDE PROSPECTIVE DERMATOLOGY STUDENTS FROM THE HEARTLAND TO LEARN, GROW AND PRACTICE LOCALLY.
Workforce data in the Heartland suggests that Kansas’ access to qualified skin health professionals is diminishing as local providers begin to transition into retirement. Our communities are at risk of becoming more underserved in an area of healthcare that is so important — dermatology. Heartland Dermatology has been committed to a solution to this workforce challenge.
Rather than simply remaining complicit about the imbalance of supply and demand for these professionals, we are actively contributing to the future pipeline of practicing dermatology professionals. We feel it is our duty.
The Kansas Access Track (KAT) Residency is a rural/underserved residency track designed in collaboration with Saint Louis University (SLU). Heartland Dermatology is uniquely positioned to anchor such a program in a way that will be beneficial for the communities in Kansas foremost, as well as to striving to provide accessible care throughout Kansas, including many underserved areas.

Your donation makes a difference to Kansas.
Heartland is investing in the future of Kansas’ healthcare — but we can’t do it alone. We are seeking residency funding to support this program for the next 5 years. We are looking for rural medical centers in locations who have insatiable needs for dermatologic services, grants, and donors with like-minded missions. Heartland has partnered with NonprofitGO to be our Fiscal Sponsor. All funding and administration of funds are managed through NonprofitGO, so your donation can be made to a registered 501c3 charity.
