Please Use the Mic
Getting into an osteopathic medical school is hard enough, but getting through is a challenge all its own.

Please Use the Mic is co-hosted by OU-HCOM OMS II, Suzanne Chaar, and Mark Loudin, an HCOM administrator who has sat through the first two years of medical school for the past two decades.
