Over 500 full-time faculty members and 400 staff members are dedicated to the education and development of our students in an environment that encourages learning, respect for all members of the health care team, service, interdisciplinary scholarly activity, and personal growth. The addition of veterinary medicine on the Glendale campus (fully accredited by the Council on Education in 2018) has provided an excellent opportunity to train students following the principles of One Health at Arizona’s first veterinary college.
The Animal Health Institute is comprised of the Equine and Bovine Center (EBC), The Diagnostic Pathology Center (DPC), and the Companion Animal Clinic (CAC). The EBC is a large animal teaching facility housing small herds of cattle and horses. This facility includes a clinical skills teaching laboratory hosting a variety of large animal simulators and models, arenas, and live-animal indoor and outdoor teaching and treatment areas.
