Sweeping national changes in health care financing and delivery are forcing major modifications in the numbers, types, and distribution of physician manpower thought to be appropriate for the new paradigms. Not surprisingly, these changes are exerting great pressure on medical education institutions to also adapt to the changing requirements. In Oklahoma, these financial and policy changes are accompanied by demands upon the colleges of medicine to increase the numbers of physicians who locate their practices in rural locations. The maintenance of a comprehensive and well balanced basic and advanced medical education effort within these complex and shifting requirements continues to tax the abilities of all faculties, including the Oklahoma University College of Medicine (OUCOM). |
