2 FAMILY & COMMUNITY MEDICINE

On May 20 and 21, KUSM-Wichita welcomed 41

third-year medical students from the Kansas City

campus who joined their 28 Wichita classmates

to begin Phase II of their medical education, the

clinical rotations. DFCM faculty, John Dorsch, M.D., and Scott Moser, M.D., and recent graduates

Samantha Claassen, M.D., and Casey McNeil, M.D., Ph.D., assisted with evaluating the new third-year

students on “Presenting a Patient.”

The DFCM sponsored lunch on Tuesday, May 21,

for the third-year students, giving the department

the opportunity to introduce the faculty and staff

and discuss family medicine rotation opportunities.

Ken Schmanke, MS4, spoke about volunteering and

serving on the board of directors for the JayDoc

Community Clinic. Brynn Wright, MS3, invited the

students to join the Family Medicine Interest Group

and Rural Medicine Interest Group. In keeping with

tradition, Scott Moser, M.D., once again dazzled the

crowd with his display of K-State pride.

Preceptor Spotlight Kirk Bliss, D.O.

For 13 years, Kirk Bliss, D.O., has been an active preceptor for the DFCM. Since 2005, he has taken 24 students on their eight-week Family Medicine Clerkships. Here’s what a couple of his students had to say about their time with Dr. Bliss: “Dr. Bliss is an amazing preceptor. I was able to see an immense range of diseases, and he was incredibly educational, constantly encouraging me to try on various procedures and look up various things. All his patients were very fond of him, and it made working in the clinic an immensely pleasurable experience.” “Dr. Bliss was an amazing preceptor. He was energetic and portrayed an interest in my learning every day. He really helped me develop a clinical routine and I received ample practice every day seeing patients on my own. He quickly took notice of my interests and provided me with plenty of supplemental reading information that I was able to partake in during my free time. He greatly cared about me becoming an excellent doctor and provided top notch advice for my future. I would trust him with my family’s care and highly recommend him to future medical students. I felt like a colleague while working with him, which is a rarity in medical school.” “Dr Bliss is an asset. He is highly qualified to teach both the art of medicine in a clinical situation and the art of maintaining a practice. I commend him on his patience and dedication to help bring up another generation of physicians while staying highly involved with his family and community. Patients I spoke with thought highly of him as a doctor and a man. His drive to carry multiple hospital patients, as well as a very busy office practice, reflects well on him. I learned a great deal more from him than I expected to on this rotation. Not one day in the clinic came with me dreading to go to work. I always looked forward to going in with eagerness.” Dr. Bliss, we appreciate the generosity of your time and expertise toward the education of future physicians.

Family Medicine Interest Group volunteers for STORM orientation

Five members of the KUSM-W Family Medicine Interest Group volunteered to demonstrate EENT exams for students orientating for the STORM (Summer Training Option in Rural Medicine) program on Thursday, June 6, on the KUSM-Wichita campus. In addition to the EENT demonstrations, STORM orientation included sessions on joint injections and the musculoskeletal examination (led by Andrew Porter, D.O., Ascension Via Christi), the Rapid Neurologic Exam (led by Don Seery, M.D., Ascension Via Christi), and wound care and suturing (led by Mike Kennedy, M.D.). The FMIG volunteers were Wesley Burdiek, MS4; Katie Ellsworth, MS4; Alex Germann, MS4; Justin Reiswig, MS4; and Grace Strella, MS4. They also assisted with the wound care and suturing demonstration.

Members of FMIG demonstrate EENT exams for students participating in the STORM elective. Wesley Burdiek, MS4, demonstrates how to scroll diopters on an opthmalascope (upper left). Justin Reiswig, MS4, shows how to get in place for an eye exam (upper right). Katie Ellsworth, MS4, supervises a student performing an ear exam (lower left). Grace Strella, MS4, observes a student adjusting diopters on an opthmalascope (lower middle). Alex Germann, MS4, coaches students on how to check pupil constriction (lower right).

FEATURED RURAL SITE – TRIBUNE Greeley County is the least populous county in Kansas with 1,247 people, as of the 2010 census. It borders Colorado and is in the Mountain Time Zone. The county seat of Greeley County is Tribune where 60% of the population of Greeley county lives. Tribune is one of the two counties (along with Wallace) where Wendel Ellis, D.O., a Smoky Hill-Salina Family Medicine Residency graduate (pictured), practices. Dr. Ellis received the Rural Health Practitioner of the Year Award from the National Rural Health Association in 2015. Students who have rotated in Tribune had this to say of their experiences: “We were given responsibility for patients from the beginning and told we could take as much ownership for our patients as we felt comfortable. Dr. Ellis set up access for us on all the computer systems and allowed us to treat his patients as our own and develop plans, write orders, etc. Dr. Ellis always made himself available by phone if he wasn’t at the hospital. He welcomed us to the community and included us in all events outside the hospital such as dinners at his house, lunches out, church services, etc. All other health personnel and medical staff were overall very supportive and kind.” “From day one we were told we could see patients, help with procedures, take calls, see ER patients and follow patients in the hospital. We could take notes on all of them and write orders as well. Dr. Ellis and Dr. Scheffe were really good at having us see patients on our own, decide what other assessments we needed and come up with treatment plans. All the staff was sure to show us anything abnormal or interesting and allowed us to do pretty much every procedure. Dr. Ellis clearly cared a lot for the community of Tribune and sacrificed a lot for it.” “My rural rotation in Tribune differed tremendously from my clerkships in Wichita. I’ve never been in an environment where I’ve been exposed to and encountered patients in the ER, clinic, OR and inpatient settings on a daily basis.” If you are interested in a rural rotation in family medicine, contact Erica Ortiz at eortiz2@kumc.edu.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?Kyle Sheets, M.D., CEO of Concord Medical Group, Lubbock, Texas

It’s never a dull moment in the life of H. Kyle Sheets, M.D. Dr. Sheets spends much of

his time traveling and caring for the underserved. After graduating from the KUSM-W

Family Medicine Residency Program at Via Christi in 2000, he recognized the difficulties

that hospitals have in recruiting and retaining quality physicians, especially in rural areas.

In 2001, he founded Concord Medical Group, a physician-owned and operated organization

to meet the needs of rural hospitals in west Texas. Today, Concord Medical Group has

grown enormously and provides 24-hour service to over 70 hospitals in Texas, Oklahoma,

Louisiana and Tennessee, with more than 800 physicians and about 55 employees.

The flexibility of Concord Medical Group allows Dr. Sheets to fulfill another passion of

his, medical mission work. As a third-year resident, Dr. Sheets took an international rotation in Zimbabwe, bringing

along his wife and ten children to experience a new culture. That experience completely changed his worldview

and, in 2003, Dr. Sheets founded the Physicians Aiding Physicians Abroad (PAPA) Missions to help other physicians

who have a desire for medical mission work, but no experience in planning a mission trip. PAPA Missions has

since expanded its work to sending medical supplies and volunteers (medical and nonmedical) to impoverished

areas throughout the globe. Since 2003, PAPA has sent hundreds of volunteers to over a dozen countries on four

different continents and has shipped medical supplies worth tens of millions of dollars to needy medical facilities

around the world. PAPA Missions partnered with Adonai International Ministries and Global Samaritan Resources

to establish a hospital in Canilla, El Quiche, Guatemala. Hospital Adonai, which began to hold clinics in 2016, serves

over 250,000 Guatemalans, mostly descendants of the Mayans, who previously had no access to health care. This

joint venture involved several other Via Christi Family Medicine Residency Program graduates: John Epperly, M.D.;

Shea Epperly, M.D.; Paul McQuillen, D.O.; April McQuillen, D.O.; and Jack Kline, M.D.

Dr. Sheets also serves as the medical director of Pregnancy Resources of Abilene and was appointed by the

Governor of Texas to the Texas Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke Council. On the Texas Cardiovascular Disease

and Stroke Council, he serves as a rural voice. Much of the current advice for preventing cardiovascular disease and

stroke is geared to larger hospitals and he serves as a reminder that not all hospitals have the same resources as

those in bigger cities.

In recognition for all the above, the American Academy of Family Physicians awarded Dr. Sheets its Humanitarian

Award in 2017.

We were able to catch Dr. Sheets in between medical mission trips to Guatemala and Zimbabwe to find out what his residency experience meant to him.

“ The skills I learned at Via Christi really helped prepare me for rural and medical missionary work. I felt ready to

take on everything, from the procedures I did when I practiced in Muleshoe, Texas, to the challenges of being in

a third-world country. It was good training with good people.”

The DFCM keeps track of the contact information and locations of all its resident alumni. If you would like to

update your information in our record system, please contact Erica Ortiz at eortiz2@kumc.edu.

Premedical student researcher, Morgan Bretches, receives Star Trainee Award

Morgan Bretches, a premedical student researcher in the DFCM, has received a Star Trainee Award from the Kansas IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence. She was nominated by Samuel Ofei-Dodoo, Ph.D., MPA, M.A., CPH, and Shang-You Yang, Ph.D., associate professor at Wichita State University and research associate professor at KUSM-W, Department of Orthopaedics. The award will provide $5,500 for salary and benefits, as well as an additional $1,500 for travel. The Star Trainee Award will fund Bretches’ work at WSU on differentiation of peripheral nervous system stem cells into osteoblasts that aid the healing of segmented fractures. Within the DFCM, Morgan has been conducting literature reviews for two topics of research that Dr. Ofei-Dodoo has been leading: reasons why people use e-cigarettes and job satisfaction of family medicine residency coordinators. The literature reviews will help demonstrate the need and importance for further study into each of these topics. Morgan is currently studying health sciences at Wichita State University and will graduate in May 2020. She also works as an admission control tech in LDR at Wesley Medical Center. With the assistance of Kari Nilsen, Ph.D., Morgan has plans to implement a study on the use of color-coded scrubs to indicate a staff member’s job role. The study will survey staff feelings and patient understanding of the use of color-coded scrubs. If you are interested in conducting research with the assistance of the Department of Family & Community Medicine, contact Dr. Nilsen at knilsen@kumc.edu or 316-293-1894, or Dr. Ofei-Dodoo at sofeidodoo@kumc.edu or 316-293-1879.
