UTIA Editorial Guide: Referring to the UT College of Veterinary Medicine


Note: For all units, UT, rather than University of Tennessee, is acceptable on first reference when the full name of the university is apparent to the reader.

The UT College of Veterinary Medicine is the umbrella organization of the W.W. Armisted Veterinary Medical Center. The John and Ann Tickle Small Animal Hospital; the Equine Hospital; the Farm Animal Hospital; the Equine Performance and Rehabilitation Center; the Avian, Exotics, and Zoological Animal Hospital; and the Veterinary Diagnostic Lab Services comprise the medical center.

Second reference:

UTCVM, CVM, or the College is used on second reference to the College of Veterinary Medicine.

Use the veterinary medical center, not UTVMC, on second reference to avoid confusion for readers who are familiar with CVM or UTCVM as a second reference for the College of Veterinary Medicine.
