To commemorate 50 years of growth and achievement, the UNMC College of Allied Health Professions and the McGoogan Health Sciences Library partnered to produce an exhibition within the Wigton Heritage Center.
It is titled, “Together in Health: The College of Allied Health Professions, 1972-2022.”
The panel exhibition highlights the present programs, past and present leadership, and future growth plans of the college.
UNMC has been educating allied health professionals since the early 1930s. In October 1972, the University of Nebraska Board of Regents officially created the School of Allied Health Professions. In 2015, it became the sixth college at UNMC.
Today, the UNMC College of Allied Health Professions offers 15 health profession education programs, two interprofessional master’s degree programs and four degree-advancement programs, with an average annual enrollment of more than 750 students.
The physical exhibition at UNMC is located near the Bennett/Sorrell/Wittson Hall skywalks on Level 4 of Wittson Hall. The exhibit also is available at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, within the the Health Science Education Complex.
Accompanying these physical installations is a virtual exhibit accessible online.
Congrats on this milestone to Dean Meyer and all of the incredible faculty, staff and trainees in the CAHP! It is so impressive to see the growth of the college and we are proud to partner with the PA program to foster future mental health workforce.
