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 Information Management, Occupational Therapy (which offers a Health Science–Occupation and Wellness Concentration) and Physical Therapy (which offers 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 fully 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.
