Tuskegee University (School of Nursing and Allied Health )
The College of Veterinary Medicine, Nursing & Allied Health (CVMNAH) is composed of the School of Veterinary Medicine (Animal Health) and the School of Nursing & Allied Health (Human Health). The College is the only one of its kind in the United States where Animal Health (Veterinary Medicine) and Human Health (Nursing & Allied Health) are interlinked and merged under one College within the framework of the One Health - One Medicine approach.
* Historically, the Tuskegee University School of Veterinary Medicine (TUSVM) was established for the training of African Americans in 1945; at a time when African Americans did not have other opportunities to study Veterinary Medicine due to segregation and other racial impediments. In 1945, the U.S. had only ten Schools of Veterinary Medicine and it is estimated that fewer than five African Americans were located in the Southern States at that time.
* The TUSVM is fully accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).
* The TUSVM is one of 28 Schools/Colleges of Veterinary Medicine in the U.S. But it is the only one in the U.S. that is fully integrated, serving African-Americans, Caucasians, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans and International students.
* Despite the increase in the number of Schools of Veterinary Medicine to 28, the Tuskegee University School of Veterinary Medicine is the only one of its kind and the only one located on an HBCU campus. It continues to be the only institution which trains 50 - 60% of African Americans in the U.S.
* The TUSVM graduated its first class of fully qualified veterinarians in 1949. Since then, it has graduated more than 70% of the African American veterinarians in the U.S.
