Rosalie P. Henry Professorship established
In 2002, Rosalie Henry made provisions in her estate to establish a distinguished
professorship at the KUSM-Wichita Department of Family & Community Medicine in
honor of her parents, Clyde and Agatha Michaelis Henry Keith. The professorship is
intended to improve health care in rural Kansas. Her passion for rural medicine
comes from growing up in a small town in Graham County. When she was 11 years
old, she was hospitalized for a month, 60 miles from her family farm. She experienced
firsthand just how important it is to have well-trained family physicians in rural areas

arts degree and in 1954 with a medical technology degree. She was an avid KU
basketball fan. In 1954, she began working at KUMC in Kansas City, later becoming
the blood bank supervisor there. She continued working as a blood bank supervisor
at hospitals in Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Santa Monica, California; and Kansas City,
Missouri. She retired in 1997 and moved to Fairway, Kansas. Sadly, in November 2020,
Rosalie died from complications due to COVID-19. Her memory will live on through
the professorship she established which will be used to prepare medical students to

Inaugural recipient of the Carolyn Gaughan
Leadership Award – Zev Allen
KUSM-W medical student, Zev Allen, is the inaugural recipient of the Carolyn Gaughan Leadership
Award. The award is presented periodically to KUSM-W students and family medicine residents to
support leadership development opportunities. Carolyn Gaughan was the executive vice president Zev Allen
of the Kansas Academy of Family Physicians for 30 years before retiring in 2019. Zev took time
off from medical school to complete his MPH through Dartmouth College. He is set to graduate
from medical school in May 2022.
Zev had this to say regarding the award and his plans for the future: “I am incredibly grateful to be
receiving the Carolyn Gaughan Leadership Award. Carolyn’s career in service to the field of family
medicine and public health are inspiring, and I am honored to be receiving this award in her name. Carolyn Gaughan
After completing medical school and my master’s in public health, I look forward to applying to a residency
that focuses on full scope family medicine. As a future physician, I have plans to practice in rural Kansas and
utilize my training to identify and implement evidence-based, community-wide interventions to promote
wellness within my community. I have hopes of communicating the value of regional health models and the role
of the family physician through research and advocacy.”

COVID-19 oral history project
Morgan Weiler, MS3, is working with the AAFP Foundation’s Center for the History of Family
Medicine collecting oral histories pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic. She states, “The project is
dedicated to collecting stories of local family physicians, residents and medical students, especially
those who work in marginalized communities, whose lives have been impacted by COVID-19. The
project took off a few weeks ago and has had a great response rate from family physicians,
residents and students. Morgan Weiler, MS3
There are two ways to get involved. The first is participating in an oral history interview. The second is by completing
a written document, answering questions about your COVID-19 experiences.
The COVID-19 pandemic stories will be collected and stored as historical documents. There is also an opportunity to
add digital content to the document, such as pictures and videos of experiences during the pandemic. These stories
can highlight the importance of family medicine in our current model of health care and show the importance of
leadership as demonstrated by family physicians in local communities. The resident and student stories demonstrate
the adaptability of young physicians and give an important insight into what the future of family medicine might look
like. I look forward to gathering more stories and experiences. If you are interested in the project, please reach out.”
If you would like to contact student doctor Weiler to share your experience with the COVID-19 pandemic, she can
be reached at mweiler2@kumc.edu.

KUSM-W medical students
recognized for being outstanding Bigs
Two KUSM-W medical students, Jack Nolte, MS3, and Gabrielle Fangman, MS3,
were recognized by Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters for being outstanding frontline
and medical field Bigs. The DFCM-W coordinated with BBBS to surprise Gabrielle
Fangman in the middle of a musculoskeletal didactic session during the Family
Medicine Clerkship on Jan. 26. The BBBS also surprised Jack Nolte, MS3, during
his Internal Medicine Clerkship.
Nolte and Fangman wrote a letter together encouraging their medical school
classmates to consider becoming a Big. In that letter, Fangman wrote “I joined
BBBS because I wanted to feel more connected to the Wichita community,
having just moved from Kansas City.
I recognize that during COVID-19, many children are feeling more isolated than
ever and I thought I could help a Little feel more supported during these uncertain
times. My goal was to positively impact a Little and have a ton of fun while doing
it. So far my Little and I have been to the zoo, visited a pumpkin patch, colored

community. I kept hearing from patients and preceptors how many fun things there were to do in Wichita but I just
didn’t feel like doing it alone. Recognizing how the people who mentored and invested in me have impacted my
life for the better, I decided to sign up to be that person for my Little. Mentoring him gives me the opportunity
to be a positive male role model and to have a built-in friend to experience the community with as well. So far,
my Little and I have spent time grabbing a bite to eat and working on school, as well as going to the zoo. My
Little enjoys cooking so we are going to make dinner this Friday and watch a movie!”
