WASHINGTON, DC, November 18, 2024 —The American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) is pleased to welcome Midwestern University in Downers Grove as our newest provisional member.

Per AAVMC guidelines, any college or school of veterinary medicine that grants the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree or equivalent and is not accredited by or has not gained “reasonable assurance” from the AVMA Council on Education (COE) is eligible to apply for provisional membership.

Midwestern University has named Coretta Cosby Patterson, D.V.M., DACVIM-SA, as Dean of the proposed College of Veterinary Medicine. Pending accreditation approval, the first class is planned to matriculate in fall 2027. Find more information about their program details, mission, and goals on their website.
