About the School
"Training and educating primary care physicians for rural and underserved Oklahoma is at the heart of our mission," says John Fernandes, D.O., M.B.A., president and dean of OSU`s medical school. "Producing excellent doctors and keeping Oklahomans healthy is our mandate and we are gratified to be recognized for our commitment. OSU's medical school was created in 1972 to prepare primary care physicians for Oklahoma. The school has graduated more than 2,000 doctors. Nearly 60% are in active primary care practice in the state, many in rural or underserved areas. It is estimated that the economic impact to each community from each OSU physician is $1 million annually."
Curriculum
The curriculum includes simulated clinical experiences, opportunities for independent study, and frequent consultation with faculty members and community-based physicians. In a spiral curriculum, study matter is continuously reintroduced to the student in greater depth and complexity. This method serves to reinforce prior learning and promote meaningful retention. The curriculum integrates subject matter derived from the biological, clinical, and behavioral sciences to permit full comprehension of the clinician`s work and to provide a foundation for a lifetime of learning by the student.
