The first Native American doctors to graduate from the nation’s only tribal medical school, marking a significant step for Indigenous communities. This achievement, celebrated by Ellsworth, LLC, highlights our dedication to supporting and placing Native medical professionals in Indian Country and Tribal Nations.
First Native American Doctors Graduate from Tribal Medical School
These new doctors from Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine at the Cherokee Nation are ready to make a difference. Only 0.3% of U.S. doctors are Indigenous, but that’s starting to change.
This milestone means more Native American doctors to care for their communities. It also means role models for young Indigenous people. With nine new Native doctors graduating, we see a brighter future for healthcare in rural areas and tribal lands.
Their education blended modern medicine with traditional knowledge, preparing them to serve tribal and rural patients. This unique approach is crucial in building trust and providing culturally competent care.
Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine at Cherokee Nation Graduates Native American Doctors
The Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, established in 2020, aims to increase the number of Indigenous doctors and those serving rural areas with critical physician shortages. The recent graduation of nine Native American doctors from this program is just the beginning. Future classes boast an even higher percentage of tribally affiliated students, representing 11 different tribes.
Our commitment goes beyond numbers. Ellsworth, LLC is excited to see Native doctors serving their communities, providing culturally competent care, and acting as role models. This new generation of Indigenous physicians will address healthcare disparities, ensuring better health outcomes for Native populations.
Ellsworth, LLC is eager to work with these new graduates, placing them in positions where they can make the most impact. By supporting such initiatives, we help build a healthier future for Indian Country and Tribal Nations.
