OU College of Medicine Degree Programs

The first year of medical school is often compared to drinking out of a fire hose. Learning to study massive amounts of material in your first anatomy class feels daunting, and I had no idea where to start. When the first quiz rolled around, it was evident my study routine needed to change quickly. My professors stepped in that day; they were determined to help me succeed, going above and beyond by encouraging me, helping me develop a study plan, and connecting me with an MS4 who tutored me multiple times a week throughout that first class. I was able to succeed in my first year and will be graduating in May 2025 because my professors reached out and showed me that I was capable of thriving in medical school.
