At the SCM, we believe that patients aren’t a problem to solve, they’re a person to care for. Our students learn that from the start during our Summer Institute week. Are you or someone you know willing to share your patient story with a small group of students? Read the graphic for more details on what we’re looking for. Patient stories are needed for Monday, August 12th from 11-11:50am. Contact Liz Kollaja at the email listed below for more information and to sign up to share your story!

As healthcare professionals, we care about the health and wellbeing of the communities we serve and we are deeply saddened by the tragedy today at the medical clinic in Tulsa. We are working closely with the OU Police Department on our campus security as we monitor this situation. We want to assure you that our friends, colleagues, fellows, residents and students in the OU Health Sciences Center programs in Tulsa have been confirmed as safe and accounted for.

The recent series of tragic incidences of gun violence across the country is upsetting to us all. It has hit very close to home for all of us, with this recent incident at Saint Francis in Tulsa. The situation in Tulsa is still unfolding but not only do our hearts break for the victims impacted, we recognize the fear our fellow healthcare colleagues in Tulsa must feel. These incidences of gun violence are hate-filled and an affront to the values we espouse in healthcare of caring, healing and inclusivity. We grieve with the families and the Tulsa community over this tragic loss of life.

If there is a formula shortage in your area and you are struggling to find your baby’s formula, here are some ideas to try. Please remember, it is NOT safe to: make your own formula, dilute formula, add food to the bottle, or switch to other milk (plant or animal based). Check with your baby’s doctor about any questions you may have.
