Osteopathic Medical Education Consortium of Oklahoma (OMECO/Talihina) Program
About This Program
Our program is an unopposed Family Medicine residency affiliated with the Choctaw Nation, offering a unique opportunity to practice rural tribal medicine and provide care to the Indigenous communities we serve. We emphasize hands-on training in outpatient procedures, including Botox administration for migraines and outpatient paracentesis. Resident well-being is a top priority, and we offer subsidized housing to help reduce the cost of living and support a healthy work-life balance.
