Education at OUHSC
The OU Health Sciences Center's academic strategic plan builds upon the expertise and strategic aims of our health professions and biomedical sciences academic programs to offer HSC students a distinctive learning experience only available at Oklahoma’s only comprehensive academic health center. Academic faculty and staff engage with learners as teachers and as mentors. HSC faculty invest in developing skills for best practice in six areas of core mentoring recommended by the National Institutes of Health.
