REOPENING

Visit Reopening Plan

Florida A&M University and the School of Allied Health Sciences (SOAHS) are closely monitoring the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The University and School remain open for business even as we carefully observe federal and state safety and health protocols. The administration, faculty, and staff in the School of Allied Health Sciences have been working around the clock to implement processes that will enable student success.

As you are aware, the majority of the reopening fall 2020 has transitioned to online teaching and learning.  Administration, faculty, and staff are currently working to accomplish the many activities to make certain that the SOAHS is continuously ‘on the move.’ We encourage students to communicate directly with their professors and academic advisors. Also, when preparing for Fall Semester, check the FAMU Registrar’s website for important information related to student matriculation.

In conclusion, please remember to follow health protocols and advisories as you go about your day-to-day lives. And, regularly check your FAMU email and visit famu.edu/coronavirus for updates. Your health and wellbeing are our top priority.

About The School of Allied Health Sciences

The School of Allied Health Sciences (SOAHS) is one of three health professional schools at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU). The school was established in recognition of the need to provide access to quality education in a group of rapidly growing health professions. The school is divided into five divisions: Cardiopulmonary Science, Health Care Management, Health Informatics and Information Management, Occupational Therapy (which offer a Health Science–Occupation and Wellness Concentration) and Physical Therapy (which offer a Health Science–Pre-Physical Therapy Concentration).

Since its start in 1982, SOAHS has experienced continuous involvement in education, practice and research that has contributed to the strong reputation of each academic division within the school. Each division is accredited by its respective accrediting body. Overall, FAMU ranks as the number one producer of African-American allied health professionals in the State of Florida. SOAHS has been successful in attracting substantial extramural funding, and it has received over $4 million from the Department of Health and Human Services to support programs designed to increase the number of minorities and other underrepresented persons in the allied health professions.
After completing their degree requirements, highly trained professionals assume leadership roles in their discipline throughout the state and nation.
