Anatomic Pathology Resident - Military Veterans

The residency training program is designed to provide broad exposure to basic and applied aspects of veterinary pathology and to prepare the trainee for a career in veterinary pathology. Residents successfully completing the program are qualified to take the ACVP Board examination. Pathology residents develop skills in gross pathology and histopathology by participating in a busy diagnostic laboratory service. These basic pathology skills are supplemented by training in clinical and comparative pathology. Residents also participate in pathology teaching for the veterinary student pathology laboratories and instruct senior veterinary students on necropsy rotations. Residents are expected to actively participate in weekly seminars in gross, microscopic and clinical pathology and other specialty pathology rounds. A diverse faculty, including eleven pathologists who are ACVP certified in anatomic or clinical pathology and two production animal diagnosticians support this program. The caseload includes a wide variety of domestic, wild and exotic animals submitted to the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. After completion of the residency program, qualified individuals may pursue focused research training leading to the PhD degree through the institution's NIH-funded T32 post-doctoral training program in Comparative Medicine and Pathology.
