Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine (OUWB) is the allopathic (MD) medical school for Oakland University (OU). The campus is located north of Detroit in central Oakland County, Michigan and spans the cities of Auburn Hills and Rochester Hills, but has the mailing address of nearby but not adjacent Rochester.

The school is named after Oakland University, a public university located in Oakland County and William Beaumont Hospital (WBH) which was named for US Army surgeon William Beaumont. Beaumont is widely known as the "Father of Gastric Physiology" following his research on human digestion, which started at Fort Mackinac on Mackinac Island, Michigan.[2][3][4] William Beaumont Hospital's original name as it was being built was "Oakland Hospital" named for the county. To distinguish itself from nearby Oakwood Hospital, Oakland Hospital changed its name before officially opening . [5]

History

Oakland University (Oakland) was founded in 1957 and William Beaumont Health System (Beaumont, WBHS) was founded in 1955. In January 2007, Oakland and Beaumont submitted a letter of intent to the LCME to formally begin the process of creating a new allopathic medical school. OUWB was approved and founded on July 31, 2008 with the inaugural class beginning enrollment in the fall semester of 2011.

OUWB was the fourth allopathic medical school to open in the US State of Michigan, the first new medical school in the state in 47 years, and the first private medical school in the state.

In 2011, over 3,000 prospective students applied for the 50 seats in the inaugural class (Class of 2015). In 2012, OUWB added 75 new students, with 100 more joining in 2013 and 2014 each for a total of 325 students.[6] In 2015, OUWB received full accreditation from the LCME and the class size grew to its current capacity of 125.[7] In March 2015, OUWB's Charter Class achieved a 100% match rate when matching to their residency positions.[7]

OUWB currently receives around 7,000 applications yearly.

Education

The curriculum at OUWB follows an organ system-based preclinical curriculum with longitudinal courses that continue throughout the clinical years.

Preclinical

The fall semester of M1 year focuses on Anatomical Foundations of Clinical Practice and Biomedical Foundations of Clinical Practice, with organ system-based courses beginning in the winter semester of M1 year. In the M2 year, organ system-based units and longitudinal courses continue.

The longitudinal courses are the Art and Practice of Medicine (APM), Medical Humanities and Clinical Bioethics (MHCB), the Promotion and Maintenance of Health (PMH), a personal and professional development course (PRISM, Promoting Reflection and Individual Growth Through Support and Mentoring), and a research course (Embark). Embark requires each student to work to the advancement of medicine by undertaking a scholarly project with a faculty mentor.

Clinical

The clinical years consist of rotations at various sites affiliated with the William Beaumont Health System, as well as the continuation of MHCB, PRISM, and Embark.

The M3 clinical rotations include 8 weeks each of Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Surgery, 5 weeks of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 5 weeks of Psychiatry, 4 weeks of Neurology, 1 week of Ophthalmology, 6 weeks of Family Medicine, and an optional 2 week elective rotation.

The M4 clinical rotations includes 4 weeks or 8 weeks of Emergency Medicine, 2 weeks of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, 2 weeks of Diagnostic Medicine, as well as Sub-Internships and elective rotations.

Facilities

Located on the main campus of Oakland University, OUWB is housed in O'Dowd Hall. In 2022, O'Dowd Hall began a $9.7 million renovation aimed to create new study spaces, classrooms, offices, outdoor seating, and an entryway with a reception area. Students are further able to access the Medical Library located in the university's Kresge Library, the Hannah Hall of Science Anatomy Lab, the Oakland Center (student union) and the Recreation Center.

Medical education in the clinical years continues at several key sites operated by William Beaumont Health System.
