OSU is a leader in telemedicine technology, with the state's largest telemedicine network connecting physicians to patients via the Internet. This medical lifeline allows patients in non-metropolitan areas the same accessibility to specialized health care as those living in large cities.
OSU medical students receive hands-on training in telemedicine, and the College was the first medical school in the nation to require telemedicine application of all its graduates. The OSU Telemedicine Network is currently linked to more than 24 locations throughout Oklahoma, with a goal of being connected to 55 communities in the next five years.
