NOTE
FROM OU-COM DEAN:
Warm
(hot) Summer Greetings to our clinical preceptors.
Excitement
always peaks at the entry of a new class.
On 2 August we welcomed the entering class of 2010 with the promise they
would receive the best educational experience available, thanks in great part
to your involvement in their success.
As these eager new students dive into our anatomy emersion we also are
preparing to send out the class of 2008 to you, eager to learn and be
challenged in the clinical setting.
When the Class of 2008 matriculated at OU-COM, they had the highest GPA
in our College’s history.
They are an outstanding and enthusiastic class, and I know you will
enjoy working with them.
Thank
you and congratulations for being a member of our educational team. I encourage you to take advantage of the
resources and benefits available to you as an OU-COM preceptor.
Sincerely,
Jack
Brose, D.O.
