Description of Externship:
Texas A&M's Department of Veterinary Pathobiology
provides a stimulating environment for veterinary student externs to learn
more about pathology. The department maintains an active and dynamic pathology
residency program. Externs are able to interact with pathology residents
and get an appreciation for the challenges of resident life. Necropsy and
biopsy case material is varied and is drawn from the Veterinary Medical Teaching
Hospital. Supplemental case material is available at the Texas Veterinary
Medical Diagnostic Laboratory. Externs are encouraged to work up cases from
start to finish and to attend a variety of weekly rounds and seminars. For
housing, a list of TAMU veterinary students with spare bedrooms is maintained. The
cost for externs is approximately $100-150 per week.
