ACVP-Recognized Pathology Clubs
Learn about the many ways to engage with peers and build a career in veterinary pathology.
In order to increase the awareness among veterinary students of the various career opportunities in veterinary pathology and to generate more interest in the discipline, ACVP in conjunction with the Student Engagement Committee recognizes veterinary student pathology clubs at individual domestic and international veterinary schools according to the following criteria:
- Accreditation by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)
- Submission of a letter of support from an on-site pathology faculty advisor who is an ACVP Diplomate
- Submission of Constitution and Bylaws for approval. Model Constitution and Bylaws should be customized by the applicants for their schools
- Contact information for current officers and advisors
- Eligibility to apply for the Pathology Club Travel Award
*To apply for ACVP recognition, application materials should be submitted to the ACVP Student Engagement Committee Chair, Abigail Armwood, with a copy to ACVP.
