The Department of Pathobiology and Diagnostic Investigation (PDI) at Michigan State University (MSU) is seeking applications for a 3¼-year residency position in veterinary clinical pathology, beginning July 1, 2019. The initial 2¼ years of training is based at the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory’s Clinical Pathology Laboratory in the MSU Veterinary Medical Center (VMC), while the final year of training is based at Charles River Laboratories (CRL) in Mattawan, Michigan. Training is provided by seven veterinary clinical pathologists, four at MSU and three at CRL, who are diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP). The VDL Clinical Pathology Laboratory has state-of-the-art analyzers and receives over 35,000 accessions per year from the VMC or external clients. Clinical pathology residents gain experience in basic pathogenic mechanisms, hematology, cytology, clinical chemistry, endocrinology, urinalysis, immunologic testing, and surgical pathology. They also engage in the department’s teaching programs. During the third year at CRL, the program is focused on Toxicologic Clinical Pathology where residents receive training in laboratory animal pathology, good laboratory practices, and drug safety evaluation. This residency fulfills eligibility requirements for the American College of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP) board-certification exam, and it provides a unique training experience for residents interested in a career in the biopharmaceutical industry.
