Dr. Audrey Corbett Appointed Interim Chair of Internal Medicine at OU School of Community Medicine

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA - The OU School of Community Medicine (SCM) is pleased to announce the appointment of Audrey Corbett, MD, MBA, FACP, as Interim Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine, effective July 1, 2025, pending OU Board of Regents approval.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Dr. Mike Weisz for his dedicated service of over thirty years and his leadership within the Department of Internal Medicine. His commitment to patient care, education, and mentorship has left a lasting impact on generations of learners and colleagues.

Dr. Corbett has become a well-established and recognized leader within the Department of Internal Medicine, the SCM, and our hospital systems. A proud alumna of the OU School of Community Medicine, she returned to Tulsa after postgraduate training at the University of Missouri – Kansas City, followed by academic appointments at the University of Colorado and Harvard Medical School. Since rejoining SCM in 2017, she has risen through the faculty ranks and now serves as Associate Professor of Internal Medicine, Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs, and Chief Medical Officer for OU Health Physicians – Tulsa.

Her leadership in clinical operations, quality improvement, and interprofessional care delivery has been instrumental in advancing our clinical enterprise across four health systems. She has also earned repeated recognition as an educator and mentor, receiving multiple teaching and service awards from students and faculty alike.

Dr. Corbett brings to this new role a steady hand, a deep understanding of our unique community mission, and a servant-leadership style that reflects the very best of our school’s values. I am confident she will provide strong guidance during this time of transition and continued progress.
