Product Description
Medical Education in Oklahoma Volume III chronicles the development of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (HSC) from 1964 to 1996--a tempestuous period at the University of Oklahoma School of Medicine. During these three decades college and hospital administrators and physicians witnessed conflicts, challenges, and restructuring. Mark Allen Everett and Howard Dean Everett examine the changing face of medicine and the transformation of the HSC, including:

* The Medical School deanship.Originally an office that represented the faculty, the deanship evolved into an administrative position, similar to a "CEO" of managed care. * Expanding enrollments.A sudden increase in the size of the student body eroded a sense of esprit de corps among the HSC students and the faculty. * Changing focus.More students were "ushered through" the program in order to meet a growing need for physicians in Oklahoma. * Philosophical conflicts.The change from a "medical center" to * "health science center" created a dual mission--training medical * students and providing patient services--that competed for limited * funds and resources.

Based on newspaper accounts, interviews, Regents' meetings minutes, and the authors' personal recollections, Medical Education in Oklahoma Volume III,, traces the metamorphosis of the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine and Health Sciences Center from an enterprise dedicated solely to scholarship and education into a multi-million dollar medical and research complex. ...

Great School, Great Book
I attended the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine longer ago than I care to recall, but I am personally familiar with many of the doctors and incidents depicted in this well-researched and interestingly written book. It contains more facts per page than anything I have ever read (with the possible exception of the Yellow Pages), but that's the way it should be in a history that documents the key years of an institution that changed from a small medical outpost on the prairie to--as the authors brand Oklahoma taxpayers' expectations--a "Harvard on the plains" medical complex. While the school perhaps never achieved that level of academic excellence, it certainly rose far higher than the Oklahoma state legislature and it's turf-protecting politicians had any right to expect, given their meager level of support both financial and political. Politics aside, the 50's and 60's were great times to be living in Oklahoma City, and this book brings back many of my fondest memories--and reminds me of the many brilliant and industrious men and women I met and worked with at the Medical Center. The book captures it all beautifully, and I highly recommend it for anybody interested in the subject.

A "Must Read" for Med Students, Educators, History Buffs
I found the book to be extremely interesting, and even humorous at times.The book offers a play by play event listing of the establishment of the medical school and tells a candid story of the founders and individuals that were ultimately responsible for what kind of medical facilities, Oklahoma has today. A "must-read" for Medical Students, Educators and generally any History Buff that would enjoy the "inside" story behind the Oklahoma Medical Center.The photographs are a plus. ... Read more

Product Description
There has been an increasing challenge to teacher education programs to better prepare teacher candidates to work with students of diverse backgrounds. Teachers must possess a disposition which will provide all students with the best education possible, because they will have a direct impact on so many children throughout their career. Teacher education programs, therefore, have an ethical responsibility to admit candidates into the program that have the disposition necessary to have a positive impact on students during their teaching careers. The purpose of this study was to describe Oklahoma CareerTech teachers self-assessed dispositions towards issues of diversity (i.e., assumptions about race, ethnicity, culture, gender, social class, sexual orientation, religion, language, and exceptionality) associated with the teaching and learning process and to identify naturally-occurring clusters within this population. ...
