The inaugural class of doctors just graduated a first-of-its-kind medical school in Cherokee Nation
The first physician training program on a Native American reservation and affiliated with a tribal government just graduated its inaugural class of doctors.
Nine Native people just graduated from Oklahoma State University's College of Osteopathic Medicine at the Cherokee Nation, making up over 20% of the 46 total students.
Another 15 Native students are graduating from the university's campus in Tulsa. Together, the graduates represent 14 different tubes, including Cherokee Choctaw, Alaska Native, and Seminole.
Why is this good news? These new doctors will help address the nationwide shortage of Indigenous doctors. Of the approximately 841,000 active physicians in the U.S., nearly 2,500 are Native American — just 0.3%. That shortage currently leads to a lack of "quality and timely care" at Indian Health Service clinics.
With a campus right in Cherokee Nation, students also get real-life experience caring for Indigenous patients.

The number of polio cases has dropped to 4,000 globally — a 100-fold decrease from 400,000 in the 1980s
Thanks to effective vaccination campaigns using two types of vaccines as well as improved access to clean water and sanitation — the number of annual cases of polio has dropped dramatically in recent decades.
In the 1980s, there were as many as 400,000 cases of polio globally — that number has declined to 4,000 in the last few years. That improvement has meant millions of children won't experience lifelong paralysis.
Globally, we are close to eradicating all three types of wild poliovirus, with wild poliovirus serotypes 2 and 3 eliminated and only six reported cases of serotype 1 reported globally.
New vaccines are being administered to address the remaining cases, and eradicate the last stubborn cases — closing the chapter on polio globally once and for all.
When the news is particularly devastating, horrific, and heartbreaking — like what's happening in Rafah — a natural response can be to disengage, protect, and distance ourselves from it.
While there is a genuine case for protecting our mental health, we must do that carefully and thoughtfully — so that we can eventually re-engage in the fight for a better world, not detach from it.
Because the privilege of experiencing tragedy through the news rather than first-hand comes with the responsibility to use that privilege for good.
