The Department of Pediatrics is a multi-faceted department with 18 divisions and more than 240 faculty members. The faculty constitutes the principal medical staff of Oklahoma Children’s at OU Health. The department is focused on world-class clinical care, cutting edge research, and education of the next generation of pediatricians. All these things help us provide outstanding service to children and families across the state and beyond.

Oklahoma Children’s OU Health serves as one of the teaching hospitals of the Health Center campus and is the only academic tertiary and quaternary health care facility in the state dedicated to the care of children. Oklahoma Children’s is in a growth trajectory with increasing patient volumes and two planned capital projects that will increase the number of inpatient beds to over 500 within four years. With a growing statewide presence and improving national rankings, we are on a path to becoming a world-class children’s hospital.

The University of Oklahoma Health Campus includes seven colleges and seventeen other institutions as well as serving as the state’s primary education and research facility for physicians, dentists, nurses, biomedical scientists, pharmacists, public health administrators, and a wide range of allied health professionals. This is an exciting time at the University of Oklahoma, the Health Campus, and the College of Medicine as we transform into becoming a research-intensive university through Project 200, which will recruit 200 research faculty to campus in the next five years.
