History.

The University of Oklahoma College of Medicine was founded in 1900 as a medical department of the University of Oklahoma at its main campus in Norman.

Lawrence N.

Upjohn, M.D.

is regarded as the "founding dean" and served from 1900-1904.

In 1910, the school merged with the Epworth College of Medicine in Oklahoma City.

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.

In 1974, a geographically separate, community-based clinical campus was established in Tulsa, approximately 100 miles northeast of the main campus.

Referred to as the OU College of Medicine, the college is the only medical school in Oklahoma that grants the Doctor of Medicine (M.D) degree.

OU Medicine is the combination of OU Medical Center – Oklahoma City & Edmond, the Children’s Hospital, OU Physicians, OU Children’s Physicians, the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine, and the Peggy and Charles Stephenson Oklahoma Cancer Center.
