Our students are integral members of a distinguished group of medical professionals committed to excellence in patient care and the well-being of our communities.

Our community of physicians, educators and mentors play an active role in the success of each student. This community also includes an alumni network of more than 2,600 osteopathic physicians and surgeons who are leaders in every field of medicine.

Our essential values and osteopathic principles and practices provide the foundation for the OU-HCOM experience. Throughout the medical school experience, we emphasize a whole person perspective in caring for patients. This holistic approach informs our case-based learning, anatomy and osteopathic manipulative treatment instruction, experiences with patients in clinical settings, and even faculty research.

We hope you will visit our campus to learn more about our medical school.
