The Department of Diagnostic Medicine/Pathobiology is accepting applications for a residency in veterinary clinical pathology with a starting date near August 15, 2010. The program consists of a three-year experience that provides in-depth clinical pathology training through informal training sessions, diagnostic service responsibilities, teaching of clinical pathology to veterinary medical students, participation in seminars, presentations at national meetings, and writing manuscripts for publication. The program is designed to meet the training requirements to sit for the certification examination of The American College of Veterinary Pathologists (http://www.acvp.org/exam/train.php). The successful applicant will work and study with board‑certified clinical and anatomic pathologists who provide direct instruction and guidance. The beginning stipend is $28,000 with $1,000 increases in the second and third years; residents also are eligible for most of the faculty/staff benefits. Candidates must have a DVM or equivalent degree; candidates with at least one year of post-DVM clinical experience and who are graduates of AVMA-accredited veterinary colleges are preferred. Applications should include curriculum vitae, statement of professional goals, veterinary school transcript & class ranking, and a list of three references (name, address, phone number, e‑mail address).
