- Dean's Note:

 We are working feverishly on our central Ohio extension campus.  Strategic planning, curriculum development, accreditation, a host of committees/meetings/documents - our faculty and staff are working harder than ever before.  It's exciting, exhilarating and exhausting.  We are energized though by your partnership with us in the quest to serve our state with highest quality physicians who are professional, personable and proficient. 

As most of you are aware, I announced that I am stepping down as dean in July 2012.  I will continue to have a role in teaching and developing our college's exciting new initiatives, however, I want you to know that being the OU-HCOM dean has been the most exciting and gratifying job of my life!   

You become ever more crucial to our success as we grow and struggle to meet our state and countries health care needs.  Based upon your service and the conversations I've had with many of you, my optimism has never been higher.   Our culture of service to the education of our future professionals is second to none, unrivaled in all of medical education, and the envy of many.   Thank you so much!

 

Jack Brose, D.O.
