Robert T. Hasty, DO, Selected as Founding Dean of KHSC

May 24, 2019

NBOME congratulates Robert T. Hasty, DO, NBOME National Faculty member, for being selected as the founding dean of the new college of osteopathic medicine at the Kansas Health Science Center (KHSC).

A valued member of the osteopathic community, Dr. Hasty became a member of our National Faculty in 2007. He has served in many different roles, including as an Item Writer for COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE, as a member of our COMLEX-USA Level 2-PE Case Development Committee, and as Chair of our Advanced Items Committee. Prior to this appointment, Dr. Hasty was the founding dean at the Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine (ICOM) since 2015, and left his position at ICOM at the beginning of May 2019. Before coming to ICOM, he was the associate dean of Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine, where he worked to secure new residency positions.

Dr. Hasty believes there is a growing need for doctors across the country, and hopes that his involvement in founding KHSC will help meet that need. The new college of osteopathic medicine at KHSC will be the first medical school in Kansas to open in more than a hundred years.

We look forward to working with Dr. Hasty in his new role, and wish him the best of luck in his new position.
