Case Study: Kansas City University achieves seamless HD remote clerkships and daily lecture broadcasts with Lifesize

Kansas City University - Customer Case Study

Kansas City University (KCU), a private nonprofit osteopathic graduate school with campuses in Kansas City and Joplin, sends students off-site for two-year clinical clerkships across the country. To maintain face-to-face teaching, procedure reviews and Q&A with busy clinicians, KCU needed a secure, high-definition, easy-to-use video conferencing solution that could traverse hospital firewalls and work reliably from remote clinical sites.

KCU chose Lifesize in 2010 for its HD quality, security and firewall traversal, moving from shared cart units to integrated room systems, iPad app integration and a customized lecture hall. The deployment delivered a 1% call drop rate, supports 3–4 hours of daily broadcasts, and expanded to secure executive meetings, mobile vans and broader clerkship connectivity—improving access to lectures and real-time instruction across campuses and clinical sites.
