Thank you for sharing your experiences!I was accepted to both campuses and got to choose which one I attended. One of the biggest reasons I chose Tulsa was because of the Bedlam experience, which is a clinic run by OU Tulsa students. During your 3rd year of school at the SCM, you will actually have your own panel of patients in which you are their provider. There is an attending there to help you through your treatment plans, but you get a good start on practicing medicine. Another reason I chose Tulsa was because of the small class size. By being on a small campus, there are more research and leadership opportunities than there are students, so there are lots of opportunities to build your CV. Tulsa is a very generous city and that shows in our scholarship opportunities as well. Because we are smaller in size, we get to do a lot of retreats and build one-on-one relationships with attendings. They all know your name and interests, which makes for a really welcoming, safe learning space. A drawback of the Tulsa campus is there are limited residencies based here, so I do occasionally have to go to OKC to get involved with the specialty I plan to apply to, but it hasn't been a huge hinderance and I feel like the opportunities I have here outweigh the con of having to go to OKC a few times a year. I hope this helps!
