- Health services, counseling and testing
As a student at the HSC campus, your Student Health Fee contributes to Student Health Services (SHS). SHS are provided in the Family Medicine Center (FMC) at 900 N.E. 10th St., Oklahoma City. The FMC provides acute and chronic care for injuries and illnesses, as well as routine preventative care, physician-ordered laboratory and X-ray performed in the FMC. The FMC staff will make every effort to schedule your appointment at a time that is convenient for you. If you need anything, do not hesitate to contact the Student Health Coordinator, at studenthealthnurse@ouhsc.edu. For more information, visit the Student Health Services webpage.
If your placement is outside of the Oklahoma City area, you must come into the campus to use the Student Health Services. If you visit a local physician, it is at your own expense.

- Academic resources
The mission of the University of Oklahoma is to provide the best possible educational experience for our students through excellence in teaching, research and creative activity, and service to the state and society.
The IP director and other faculty of the Department of Nutritional Sciences are available to provide tutoring if indicated during the program. It is the goal of the OUHSC IP to identify students who may have difficulty or lack skills required for one or more of the rotations. In order to address this potential need, the program has the following policies:
- In order to provide a review of Medical Nutrition Therapy, all interns must complete the “clinical boot camp” assignment before they arrive in Oklahoma for orientation week. This will be evaluated by the IP director and/or clinical coordinator
- All interns will be given a competency exam during the orientation week; students who score < 70% will be closely monitored during the program
- If a student’s performance is evaluated on the weekly summary as poor (1) or needs improvement (2) for three consecutive weeks during a major rotation (clinical, management or community), the clinical coordinator or IP director will have a conference with the preceptor and student to discuss the problem. A remediation plan will be designed as needed. This may include removing the student from the rotation site during the needed didactic remediation.
- The IP director, clinical coordinator and other faculty of the Department of Nutritional Sciences are available to tutor students if needed.
