OSU Center for Health Sciences Continuing Medical Education

What OSU Center for Health Sciences Continuing Medical Education does

The OSU Center for Health Sciences Continuing Medical Education is a non-revenue-generating academic department within Oklahoma State University's Center for Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine, operating the university's accredited CME portfolio from Tulsa, Oklahoma with a secondary presence at the OSU COM Cherokee Nation campus in Tahlequah. The program delivers continuing education through three formats: LIVE conferences (annual Symposium on Tribal and Rural Innovation in Health, Virtual Primary Care Update), Enduring Credits (self-paced online packages priced $68.75-$387.50 covering primary care, palliative care, OMT, heart failure, AI in medicine, and other topics), and Regularly Scheduled Series anchored on the Project ECHO virtual learning network, which runs 12+ ongoing curricula including addiction medicine, psychiatry, pediatric behavioral health, veteran care, diabetes, hepatitis C, and infant mental health.

The underlying technology stack is the third-party CloudCME SaaS platform at osu.cloud-cme.com, supplemented by SurveyMonkey for CME activity applications, RedCAP for ECHO registration, and CE Broker for credit reporting; the organization itself does not develop the platform. Distribution is self-serve PLG: individual clinicians create accounts, register, complete evaluations, and download certificates, with optional organization SSO integration.

Revenue mechanics combine one-time per-course registration fees for enduring materials and conferences with mostly free ECHO participation, supplemented by grant funding (e.g., TSET for pediatric behavioral health). The audience spans physicians, nurses, pharmacists, behavioral health professionals, community health workers, and rural/tribal providers across Oklahoma, with content deliberately aligned to ACCME, AOA, ABIM MOC Part 2, DEA MATE Act, AAFP, and multiple Oklahoma state board credit requirements.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Others

• American Osteopathic Association (AOA) CME Providers Network: Accrediting body that approves Category 1-A CME providers (including OSU-CME) for osteopathic physicians. Ecosystem enabler rather than direct competitor; defines the regulatory framework OSU-CME operates within.

Regional players

• VCU Health Continuing Education: Academic CME provider at a US state university medical center, offering ACCME-accredited live and enduring activities. Comparable in academic CME structure but serves a different regional market.
• University of Oklahoma College of Medicine Continuing Medical Education: Oklahoma-based academic CME provider, the closest same-state peer to OSU-CME. Comparable in physician audience, Oklahoma geographic focus, and ACCME accreditation, and a direct competitor for Oklahoma physician CME wallet share.

Emerging players

• American Academy of Family Physicians CME: Professional society offering AAFP-accredited CME (Prescribed and Elective credit) to family physicians. OSU-CME programs are explicitly approved for AAFP credit; comparable in audience and primary-care CME focus.
• Medscape Education: Large commercial online CME/CE platform offering free, accredited continuing education across specialties. Comparable in delivering AMA PRA Category 1 credit to physicians, but operates as a commercial digital platform with vastly larger learner reach.

Broad incumbents

• Harvard Medical School Postgraduate Medical Education: National-tier academic CME provider offering live conferences, online courses, and certificate programs. Comparable in delivery formats and physician CME focus but with significantly larger brand and catalog scale.
• Mayo Clinic School of Continuous Professional Development: Large academic CME provider offering live, enduring, and RSS formats with multi-specialty accreditation. Comparable to OSU-CME in delivery formats and physician CME focus, but operates at national scale with deeper specialty depth.
• Cleveland Clinic Center for Continuing Education: Major academic medical center offering ACCME-accredited CME across specialties via live conferences and enduring content. Same physician CME category as OSU-CME, with broader national/international reach.

Direct peers

• Pri-Med: Commercial CME provider focused on primary care clinicians with live conferences and online enduring activities. Directly comparable to OSU-CME's Primary Care Update conference portfolio in audience (PCPs) and primary-care clinical topics.
• University of New Mexico ECHO Institute: Originating institution for the Project ECHO model. Operates ECHO hubs across multiple conditions and geographies, directly comparable to OSU-CME's ECHO program portfolio and hub-and-spoke CME delivery model.
