Tulsa-based Oklahoma University Center for Health Sciences broke ground this week on a new medical building, according to Fox23.com.
The four-story Tandy Medical Academic Building is OSU's latest step in addressing the state's physician shortage, according to Public Radio Tulsa. "We want to train physicians that are going to learn here and stay here and practice medicine here," said Paul Giehm of the Tandy Foundation, which donated $8 million to name the building.
The facility will open in the summer of 2017.
