Pathology Intership, Tuskegee University

The Department of Pathobiology at Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine (TUCVM) is accepting applications for our 1-year internship training position in Veterinary Anatomic Pathology. We are seeking a highly motivated individual with a strong interest in diagnostic anatomic pathology. This training position has been designed to prepare trainees for successful entry and completion of a residency in veterinary anatomic pathology. Under the guidance of 5 anatomic pathologists and 2 clinical pathologists, interns will develop skills in gross pathology and microscopic pathology by participating in diagnostic services and weekly rounds. The Tuskegee Veterinary Diagnostic laboratory receives approximately 340 necropsies (predominance of poultry, canine, caprine, and equine) and 200 biopsies, annually. In addition to performing necropsies and trimming biopsy samples for histological processing, evaluation and reporting, interns also have the opportunity to assist in the practical clinical training of 3rd and 4th year veterinary students on the Necropsy Clerkship. Weekly rounds include macroscopic rounds, microscopic rounds (WSC), pathology journal rounds, clinical chemistry rounds, cytology rounds and monthly inter-institutional lab animal rounds. We also support focused general pathology training to assist in preparation for the ACVP Phase I examination. The TUCVM is situated in the historic city of Tuskegee, Alabama. It is the only veterinary school on a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) campus and is the most diverse veterinary school in the country, graduating ~70% of all African American veterinarians in the United States.
