The College of Veterinary Medicine is an outstanding organization that is effective in all three of its mission areas: teaching, research and service.
We are committed to creating and delivering high quality educational instruction for veterinary and graduate degree-seeking students, interns, residents, and graduate veterinarians; to providing exceptional healthcare; to treating clients and referring veterinarians with respect and dignity; and, to discovering and sharing new knowledge broadly for the benefit of animals, people, and the environment.
It is essential that our College remain fully accredited by the AVMA Council on Education and the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. Our College’s new dean and leadership team are actively working to develop a strategic plan to position the College to continue to meet the needs of Tennessee and beyond.
