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 provides an excellent opportunity to train students following the principles of One Health at Arizona’s first veterinary college. The MWU-CVM received full accreditation in the fall of 2018 following graduation of its first class of students.

The CVM is housed in Cactus Wren Hall and the Animal Health Institute, and includes the Departments of Pathology and Population Medicine, Equine Medicine and Surgery, Primary Care, Shelter and Community Medicine, and Small Animal Medicine and Surgery. Cactus Wren Hall is a new facility with ample classrooms, teaching laboratories, research laboratories, conference rooms, and offices. The Animal Health Institute is comprised of The Companion Animal Clinic, the Equine and Bovine Center, and the Necropsy and Pathology Center. Shelter and Community Medicine faculty are part of the Department of Small Animal Primary Care, Shelter and Community Medicine, and the clinical arm of the program includes the operation of a mobile small animal clinic and “pop-up” clinic. The mobile clinic is a state-of-the-art, 33’ long, 2016 La Boit specialty vehicle provisioned with a generator, climate control, two surgical tables, two anesthesia machines, an oxygen concentrator, active gas scavenger, medical refrigerator, exam/prep table, desk, multiple secure storage cabinets and 12 animal holding cages. It is used to provide mobile spay and neuter surgeries, minor surgical procedures, wellness exams, minor medical procedures and field medical diagnostics. The FORTS fold-out shelter (“pop-up”) is a 16x16’ two-room portable building that operates as a community medicine clinic and animal holding space adjunctive to the mobile clinic. It is set up with three exam tables, two in the main area and one in the separate cat exam room. In addition, shelter medicine faculty work with regional partners in a number of shelter and community outreach facilities throughout the Phoenix Valley.

The Companion Animal Clinic is a modern and innovative veterinary hospital for small animals. The 110,000 sq. ft. building contains state-of-the-art surgical, dental, and intensive care facilities. The hospital is equipped with digital radiography, fluoroscopy, C-arm, CT, ultrasound, endoscopy, laparoscopy, and arthroscopy equipment. In addition to outstanding clinical facilities and equipment, the Companion Animal Clinic houses a pharmacy, a large and well-equipped surgery teaching laboratory, simulated examination rooms for clinical communications training using standardized clients/patients, and ample conference and small-group meeting rooms. The facility also includes full-service clinical pathology and microbiology laboratories and a small animal rehabilitation area. Adjacent to the Companion Animal Clinic is the Equine and Bovine Center, a large animal teaching facility housing small herds of cattle and horses, and the Necropsy and Pathology Center, a diagnostic pathology laboratory that supports the AHI and outside veterinarians.
