Comments: Our cases are mostly primates, sheep, pigs and rodents, but we have ample access to cases for species not present in our vivarium. Although we do not have an ACVP clinical pathology program, we regularly do clinical pathology with our cases (blood smears, impression smears, urinalysis, etc.).
| Required Coursework for Specific Programs: | |
| AP | Comparative Pathology Conference, Diseases of Laboratory Animals, Animal Models in Biomedical Research, Toxicologic Pathology, Ultrastructural Pathology |
Other Opportunities:
We regularly participate in the JPC Wednesday slide conference, joint conferences with NC State and the Virtual Primate Conference involving the National Primate Centers. Regular training events for the residents and fellows occur weekly.
