The changes include medical knowledge, government regulation, whether by law or by the rule making process. In the Oklahoma State University Center for Rural Health, change is occurring, also.
Oklahoma D.O. PAGE 16
Undergraduate education is equally pressured to adapt from as many different sources. Additionally physicians are aging—and as such reaching retirement age. This impacts the pool from which to choose when establishing rotation schedules. The changing landscape of hospitals provides additional pressures. For these reasons and more, the staff of the Center for Rural Health remains alert to prospects for relationships with novel institutions and physicians in order to continue the proud legacy of excellent clinical experiences for OSU Center for Health Sciences medical students. In response to the challenges mentioned, and others, the Center for Health Sciences has made some changes in the clinical curriculum. The mechanisms of the third and fourth years (clinical years) are what will be discussed here. The relatively recent past has seen the introduction of standardized testing at the end of many of the required rotations of the third year. These are called alternately
departmental exams, or COMAT exams. These tests evaluate objectively the students’ knowledge of the discipline being tested. Graduates of the OSU Center for Health Sciences will recall their CORE hospital rotations. These rotations were at the OSU Medical Center in Tulsa. In the more remote past, there were additional opportunities to rotate at Hillcrest Hospital in Oklahoma City. If you graduated more than 25 or so years ago, you may recall a broader array of CORE hospital opportunities. The CORE rotations included surgery, obstetrics and internal medicine. There were two four-week rotations in internal medicine and four weeks each in surgery and obstetrics. Internal medicine typically involved four weeks in the intensive care unit and four weeks on teaching service. The advent of the Rural Medical Track coupled with the creation of new residency programs in some of the rural parts of the state has increased the options for completing CORE rotations outside the city of Tulsa. Some of these sites include INTEGRIS Bass Baptist Health Center in Enid, Comanche County Memorial Hospital in Lawton, Northeastern Health System in Tahlequah, Oklahoma D.O. | March 2016
McAlester Regional Health Center, INTEGRIS Southwest Medical Center in Oklahoma City and others. For the current second year class, which will begin its clinical rotations about the first of July, the students have the option of uncoupling their CORE rotations. This allows the student to finish surgery at facility A, obstetrics at facility B, and internal medicine at facility C. There is a requirement that internal medicine be done in the same institution in an eight-week stretch, because of the departmental testing mentioned earlier. This requires the CORE faculties working together from all sites to assure exposure to the common elements of the CORE curriculum. This is accomplished via the telemedicine and distance learning infrastructure available at OSU-CHS and OSU Medical Center, as well as the remote sites. The uncoupling of these rotations is expected to reduce the continuous length of time a student will have to remain away from Tulsa—and potentially family. A second subtle change occurring in the third year is the conversion of the Community Clinic rotation to an outpatient internal medicine experience. Attempts have been made to notify those preceptors affected, and some have been repurposed to outpatient family medicine opportunities for the students.
Oklahoma D.O. | March 2016
Many of you in the western half of the state have heard this story. The coordinators are attempting to continue to schedule similar visits in the eastern half of the state to allow for dialogue and to answer questions. The difficulty in predicting weather at this time of year increases the challenge of completing this component of the task. Since this is a fourth year rotation and its impact is on the current second year class of students, this change will not be noticeable until around July 2017.
PAGE 17
Currently, Community Hospital is a eight-week, hospital-based fourth year rotation. An eight-week rotation has taxed the tolerance of students assigned to far flung reaches of the state. By uncoupling the rotation, the Community Hospital rotation will be divided into two separate rotations. Uncoupling this rotation is expected
Community Hospital 1 is to be in one of the larger sites, typically in excess of sixty five or so beds. Community Hospital 2 will be in smaller hospital sites. The reasoning is to demonstrate the novel solutions to the challenges facing rural institutions. The four-week rotation is expected to make the remote locations more tolerable. Efforts are underway to visit these sites personally by myself, assistant to the dean for rural medical education, and the regional coordinators.
Oklahoma D.O.
The remaining large change from the Center for Rural Health perspective involves uncoupling the Community Hospital rotation. The Community Hospital rotation is designed to allow the student to assimilate experiences of the third year and begin to develop the skills needed for the clinical practice of medicine as a resident and beyond. The typical community hospital site has approximately one hundred beds, with a variety of specialty support, some itinerant, others permanently located in the community. The student experience is then dependent upon the specialties available, and occasionally the time of year.
to encourage more students to venture to Altus, Woodward or Guymon, to list a few of the current sites for this rotation, even if for a shorter period of time.

Post Convention Trip 2016
Riviera Maya, Mexico
The Oklahoma Osteopathic Association invites you to join your fellow members on a five-day post OMED convention trip to Fairmont, Mayakoba, Riviera Maya, Mexico, Sept. 21-25.
Oklahoma D.O. PAGE 22
The Riviera Maya boasts the world’s second largest coral reef, which is easily reached from Cozumel, a short trip from the resort. The warm, gentle Caribbean currents ensure the area is a popular destination for scuba diving and snorkeling. Exploration of the mystical underwater cenotes (luminous caverns that were once a source of fresh water for the Mayans who inhabited the area), a visit to the Mayan ruins at Tulum, Coba or Chichen Itzá (one of the new Seven Wonders of The World), or an excursion to Sian Ka’an (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) will add a truly unique element to your stay. Nearby, Playa del Carmen provides an exuberant nightlife, in addition to sophisticated boutiques and stores offering traditional Mexican handicrafts. The luxury Fairmont Mayakoba resort is situated within 240 acres of tropical forest intersected by crystal clear waterways and surrounded by a pristine Caribbean shoreline, 40 miles south of Cancun, near the town of Playa del Carmen, on the Riviera Maya. There are five swimming pools throughout the resort including a 10,000-square-foot free-form pool and waterslide, a children’s play pool, and an adults-only infinity edge pool overlooking the lagoon. Guests can take advantage of several activities, such as exploring nature trails on foot or bikes, scenic boat tours on crystal clear canals, tennis, and non-motorized watersports—kayaking, snorkeling, standup paddle boarding, and windsurfing. Dine at one of four recently renewed restaurants with menus created by celebrity chef Richard Sandoval. Children and teens have a space just for them at the Discovery Club or at the Teens Room by Sony PlayStation®. The state-of-the-art Willow Stream Spa features 20 treatment rooms including a unique couple’s suite in the treetops, two mineral pools and steam rooms. We offer a variety of treatments, some incorporating indigenous ingredients and ancient native traditions, as well as Mayan-inspired signature experiences. Those who want to hit the greens will find fun and challenge at El Camaleón Golf Course (host to the only official PGA Tour event in Mexico), while those who want to improve their swing can book lessons at the Jim McLean Golf School.
