Training will be based in Lexington, Kentucky with additional educational opportunities at LMU-CVM in Harrogate, Tennessee. The residency training program will prepare the trainee for a career in veterinary anatomic pathology through exposure to a high diagnostic case load, educational rounds, and seminars. Residents who successfully complete the program will be qualified to take the American College of Veterinary Pathology (ACVP) certifying examination. Pathology residents will develop skills in gross pathology and histopathology by participating in a busy diagnostic laboratory service, weekly pathology rounds, and by cross-training at other veterinary institutions.

The opportunity to provide lectures for 1st to 3rd year LMU-CVM veterinary students is available, if desired. Residents are expected to actively participate in weekly seminars in gross, microscopic, and clinical pathology and other specialty pathology rounds. The resident will be supported by six ACVP diplomates certified in anatomic pathology, two residency trained pathologists, and other faculty from the LMU-CVM and University of Kentucky, including the Gluck Equine Research Center. The UKVDL caseload includes a wide variety of domestic animals with a large animal emphasis. On average, the UKVDL performs approximately 3,000 necropsies and 2,500 surgical biopsies each year. Applicants are required to have a DVM or equivalent degree by the start date (July 1, 2023) and possess excellent communication skills. Candidate selection will be based on the applicant’s academic record, experience, recommendations, and evidence of a commitment to a career in veterinary pathology. Applicants who wish to subsequently pursue a MS or PhD degree should address this in their application materials; a separate application to the graduate school is required.
