Welcome
The College of Health Sciences (CHS) at the University of Kentucky works to ensure the education of
skilled, compassionate health sciences professionals, who are the foundation
of our nation's health care system. We educate students in nine
disciplines with 90 undergraduate students, 250 master’s students,
200
clinical doctorate students and 40 Ph.D. students. Disciplines in the
college include: Athletic Training; Clinical Leadership and
Management; Clinical Nutrition; Clinical and Reproductive Sciences;
Communication Sciences and Disorders; Physical Therapy; Physician Assistant
Studies; Radiation Sciences; and Rehabilitation Sciences Ph.D.
The faculty is deeply committed to educating outstanding students to
become skilled caregivers and leaders in their fields who will, in turn,
change the lives of the patients and families they serve.
Of the undergraduate students that earned their degrees from the College
of Health Sciences in May 2008, 76 percent graduated with
honors.
With 58 faculty in
the new Wethington building and 406 community-based faculty, CHS offers
top-quality education and a supportive environment, wherein students are
respected for their contributions, as well as providing a balance of
education, research, and community service.
CHS has made a major commitment to building an internationally recognized
research enterprise. As evidence of our commitment, CHS has been ranked in the Top 20 for
research among allied health colleges in the nation, according to the National Institutes for Health. We are honored by this recognition and will continue to reach for new heights in research.
All of our projects have a strong translational component such
that research will lead to novel intervention and rehabilitation strategies
to improve health and function by reducing illness and disability.
We embrace diversity and demonstrate a firm commitment to fostering an
inclusive community of shared learning with the goal of preparing students
to be leaders in a global society. Our students and faculty also benefit
from shared learning opportunities through our strong international exchange
program.
