The College of Medicine is part of the university's Health Sciences Center.
By 1928, all basic science and clinical facilities had been consolidated as what would become the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City, where there was a growing urban population and larger hospital facilities could be supported.
By the 1960s, the College and its affiliated hospitals had grown into a large, traditional academic medical center.
The first class having spent all four years of medical training at the Tulsa School of Community Medicine graduated in 2019.
The faculty practice is known as OU Physicians and includes virtually every medical and surgical specialty and subspecialty.
A separate educational track was developed and implemented with a special focus on Community Medicine.
