Medical School Expansion
The State Board of Regents for Higher Education approved Thursday a proposal to expand the enrollment of OU College of Medicine from 165 to 200.
The approval is an important first step, but the expansion cannot happen until approval from the State Legislature and a national medical accredidation board, said Dr. Dwayne Andrews, College of Medicine dean.
“Assuming the legislature will make funds available, it could not be before 2010 or 2011 because the process would take that long to get approvals,” he said.
To get approval, the college must hire additional faculty, expand educatonial facitlies and develop additional clinical sites.
“This is a very encouraging step, but we have a lot more work to be done,” he said.
