Bill Kaus, D.D.S.
Rural Health Opportunities Program

Bill Kaus graduated from UNMC's College of Dentistry in 1998. He then returned to Chadron, Neb., to take over the practice of his family dentist.

UNMC's Rural Health Opportunities Program helped Dr. Kaus with his decision to return to his rural roots.

RHOP is an initiative that is a collaborative effort between UNMC, Wayne State College and Chadron State College. WSC and CSC students who complete their undergraduate studies are admitted into participating UNMC programs.

  • As of September 2004, 423 students have enrolled in RHOP.
  • 237 RHOP students in nine different programs have graduated from UNMC.
  • More than 56.6 percent of those not currently enrolled in a medical residency are practicing in rural Nebraska.
  • Another 14.5 percent practice in rural areas in nearby states.
  • These professionals include dentists, dental hygienists, pharmacists, medical technologists, physician assistants, physical therapists, physicians, radiation sciences professionals and nurses.

Dr. Kaus was born and raised in Chadron, and graduated from Chadron High School in 1991. He attended Chadron State College until he enrolled in the UNMC College of Dentistry in fall 1994. After graduating in spring 1998, he returned to Chadron.

Dr. Kaus began practicing in August 1998, when he bought the practice of Dr. Keith Thomas, his childhood dentist. He and his wife, Tracy, have two children: Mitchell and Morgan.
