Interprofessional Education at the University of Oklahoma Health Campus (OUHC) is built on connection: between learners, educators, clinicians, and communities. Whether you are a student exploring opportunities, a faculty member looking to collaborate, or a partner interested in working together, we welcome meaningful engagement.
