University of Oklahoma Bedlam Clinics

The OU-TU School of Community Medicine and OU Health Physicians in Tulsa, OK, offer free healthcare through the Bedlam Clinic to uninsured individuals in the community. Appointments are required and can be obtained by calling the clinic. The clinic provides acute and limited specialty care, as well as longitudinal care for patients with chronic diseases, and is staffed by medical students, physician assistants, and volunteer physicians.

The Bedlam Clinics were established in response to the economic challenges faced by Tulsa after the September 11 attacks, which led to a rise in the number of uninsured individuals seeking primary care in emergency rooms. The clinics provide a service-learning experience for medical and physician assistant students, who work in interdisciplinary teams to deliver evidence-based patient care. The clinics aim to provide quality, continuous care to patients with chronic diseases, reducing the need for emergency room visits.
