Trainee Resources
ACVP offers resources, learning opportunities, career support, and community connections for veterinary pathology trainees at every stage of training. This page is intended to help current and prospective trainees quickly understand what ACVP provides, what is available to all veterinary pathology trainees, and which benefits are reserved for ACVP Trainee Affiliate Members.
If you are a new or current veterinary pathology trainee without an ACVP MyPath account, visit the MyPath FAQ webpage to learn more and create a free account. All veterinary pathology trainees must create a MyPath account within 30 days of beginning their training. Current ACVP Trainee Affiliate Members do not need to create a second account but should ensure their training program details are up-to-date in their profiles.
