2010s: Progress

In 2013, Dr. Kayse Shrum was named president of OSU Center for Health Sciences and dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine. She was the first female and first alumnus to hold the position. During her tenure the state-of-the-art A.R. and Marylouise Tandy Medicine Academic Building was opened, the National Center for Wellness & Recovery was established and a historic partnership with the Cherokee Nation led to the groundbreaking and construction of the OSU College of Osteopathic Medicine at the Cherokee Nation in Tahlequah, the first tribally affiliated medical school on tribal lands.
