Vascular Surgeon (Associate Professor/Professor)

Discover Oklahoma City – A Top Destination for Life & Career

Oklahoma is celebrated for its rich cultural heritage, diverse landscapes, and warm, vibrant communities. Oklahoma City has earned national recognition as the #1 “Best Big City to Live” for 2025–26 by U.S. News & World Report, thanks to its exceptional affordability, career opportunities, and quality of life. Physicians also benefit from highly competitive compensation adjusted for cost of living, making Oklahoma one of the most advantageous places in the nation to practice medicine (Becker’s Hospital Review).
