Traynor graduates from OU and enters OU-Tulsa physician assistant program



Megan M. Traynor, who earned a bachelor of science degree in zoology at the University of Oklahoma, has been accepted to the OU-Tulsa physician assistant program.

Her graduating class included 24 students chosen from nearly 200 applicants. She was accepted to the program based on her overall grade point average, science gpa, interview scores, healthcare experience, references, GRE score and a personal written statement.

Upon completion, Traynor will earn a master’s of health sciences degree.

She is the daughter of Tamyra Henning, Enid, and Dennis Traynor, Waukomis.
