Description of Externship
We receive cytology, hematology and biochemical profile submissions from
within the Veterinary Teaching Hospital and from veterinary practices across the
country. We have a large cytology caseload of approximately 7500 cases per year.
Our group consists of 5 board certified clinical pathologists and 3-4 clinical
pathology residents. Informal activities would involve shadowing the clinical
pathologists and residents during daily interpretation of cases. We also have a
number of self-guided cytology/hematology teaching sets. Scheduled activities
would include: -Weekly histology and clinical pathology slide seminar
-Weekly
"topics" in clinical pathology, journal club discussion
-Weekly surgical
biopsy class directed at residents throughout the hospital
-Weekly clinical
pathology rounds
-Daily gross necropsy rounds
