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.
The College of Medicine has approximately 650 students enrolled in the M.D. degree program. The entering first-year class size increased from 150 to 165 in 2006. A small number of medical students enroll in a combined M.D./Ph.D. degree program. Previously all medical students spent their first two years at the Oklahoma City campus and at the end of the second year, up to a quarter of each class may elect to complete their third and fourth years clinical experiences at the Tulsa community-based campus. Beginning in 2015 the School of Community Medicine in Tulsa expanded to a full 4-year campus and students had the opportunity to apply to either or both the Oklahoma City main campus medical school, and/or the School of Community Medicine branch campus in Tulsa. The first class having spent all four years of medical training at the Tulsa School of Community Medicine graduated in 2019. In addition to medical students, the college has more than 140 graduate students working on doctoral degrees in the biomedical sciences and 170 students enrolled in its physician assistant program.
