Residency Training in Anatomic Pathology
Department of Veterinary Pathobiology (VTPB)
Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS)
About the Position
The Department of Veterinary Pathobiology (VTPB) at Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) invites applications for two Veterinary Resident positions in anatomic pathology that will begin on July 1, 2026. The three-year program fulfills the eligibility requirements for the American College of Veterinary Pathology (ACVP) certification examination, and the program has an outstanding record of residents becoming ACVP diplomates.
Training in diagnostic pathology is based on case material from the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH) and supplemented with a wide variety of weekly rounds and seminars. Residents take graduate coursework during the residency and meet the requirements for an MS (non-thesis) degree by the end of the residency. Coursework could instead be applied toward an MS (thesis) or PhD degree, and residents are encouraged to complete requirements for a PhD following the residency. Sources of potential post-residency stipend support include an NIH T32 institutional training grant.
