On Friday, the University of Oklahoma College of Allied Health celebrated the opening of its new Interprofessional Sonography Laboratory, an advanced learning space made possible through a 10-year Value Partnership with global medical technology company Siemens Healthineers.

Attending the event were representatives from Siemens, leaders from OU Health Sciences and its clinical partner, OU Health, and students from several colleges who demonstrated the technology. The opening of the laboratory marks another milestone in the partnership with Siemens, which began a year ago with a commitment to bring the latest diagnostic and therapeutic equipment to Oklahoma to improve clinical care, promote workforce development, and advance education and research.

“We are proud to be a workforce college preparing healthcare professionals who will serve communities in Oklahoma and beyond,” said Jane Wilson, Ph.D., RDH, dean of the OU College of Allied Health. “The collaborative and innovative nature of this space will not only enhance student education, but it will help us attract top talent to address critical health care needs in Oklahoma and the region.”
