Osteopathic Medical Education Consortium Of Oklahoma, Inc.

Osteopathic Medical Education Consortium Of Oklahoma, Inc. (doing business as Omeco), a Tulsa-based nonprofit corporation, operates as the prime recipient of federal grants funding graduate medical education (GME) training programs under the Teaching Health Center GME Payment Program and integrated substance use disorder training initiatives, with no federal contracting footprint and 100% of recent awards from the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration Bureau of Health Professionals.

Omeco has served as the ACGME sponsoring institution and academic steward for family medicine, pediatrics, and internal medicine residency programs across Oklahoma since 2012, with recent training sites including the Eastgate Clinic in Tulsa, the Chickasaw Nation clinic in Ada, the Cherokee Nation outpatient healthcare center in Tahlequah, the Choctaw Nation health services clinic, the OSU clinic system in Tulsa, and Tahlequah Medical Group. The organization's grant portfolio reflects expansion and sustainability of rural and tribal-serving residency training; representative recent awards include a March 2026 Teaching Health Center GME expansion grant for the OMECO Family Medicine Residency Program (completion June 2029) and three July 2024 Teaching Health Center GME grants for ongoing program support (completions June 2026). An earlier Integrated Substance Use Disorder Training Program grant awarded July 2022 runs through June 2027. The organization also manages a July 2022 Teaching Health Center GME award supporting the Chickasaw Nation Family Medicine Residency Program in Pontotoc County, which concluded in June 2024 after serving an American Indian population in a federally designated health professional shortage area and medically underserved area. Additional concluded grants from July 2022 supported residency expansions at Cherokee Nation (family medicine), Choctaw Nation (family medicine), OSU Physicians Pediatrics Clinic (pediatrics), and Tahlequah Medical Group (internal medicine), all with June 2024 completion dates.

The vendor's customer concentration is narrow and stable: 22 of 27 awards (and effectively all substantive dollar value) flow from HHS HRSA's Bureau of Health Professionals under the Teaching Health Center GME Payment Program. Six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete exposure. Total obligated federal dollars across all awards reaches $247 million, accumulated over a fifteen-year footprint beginning in 2012. Omeco functions exclusively as a prime grant recipient with no subcontracting or contract prime awards in the source record; the organization's role is administrative and academic oversight of training programs housed at partner clinical sites, including tribal health systems and state university medical centers.
