Responsible for the rural education portion of OSU's nationally ranked medical school, the Center for Rural Health oversees the rural rotations of our third and fourth year medical students.  The Rural Medical Education link will give you the details on these programs.   

Once trained and in practice doctors need support.  The Center funds programs aimed at providing Oklahoma’s rural practitioners, hospitals and clinics the economic development support necessary to ensure access to quality healthcare for our state’s rural residents.  Many of these services are free and provide important information not readily available to most rural communities. Details about these programs can be found by following the Programs & Services links.

We also serve as a state-wide clearinghouse for rural health information.  Under our Resources section you will find: 

• The State of the State’s Rural Health report
• The economic impact hospitals and doctors have for your county
• Our Internet Mapping Service (IMS)
• Demographic data for your county and the state as a whole
• Links to other rural health and research oriented websites 

Coming soon will be our Listserv Community Forum.  This is a secure service that allows subscribers to communicate ideas and concerns in an anonymous community setting.
