Our curriculum is student-centered with focus on hands-on experience, problem-based and small group learning. Students receive training in all areas of medicine, with additional emphasis on osteopathic manipulation.
The first two years of medical school focus on the basic sciences and the last two years on the clinical sciences. Students are exposed to a wide-variety of clinical experience with rotations available across the state.
Our Graduates:
The College has graduated 2,240 physicians. About two-thirds are in primary care. The remaining one-third of our DOs practice in a range of specialties, from dermatology to neurology, surgery to psychiatry, anesthesiology to gastroenterology.
Our History:
- Founded by the state legislature in 1972 to provide primary care physicians to small towns and rural areas of Oklahoma

Degrees Offered:
Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.):
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. The curriculum is designed to implement a 24 month clerkship program within the four-year program of professional education.
