6) Become ACVP board certified in clinical pathology
Program Strengths:
1) High success rate in passing the ACVP board examination and completion of dissertation research, culminating in a PhD (MS for OSU-IDEXX position); 2) Large number of training faculty who are board certified in veterinary clinical pathology (n=3), clinical chemistry (n=1) and anatomic pathology (n=10); 3) Training faculty have held leadership positions in the ACVP and have extensive experience on the board examination committee; 4) Training environment is part of one of the largest health sciences center in the United States, incorporating the colleges of veterinary medicine, medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, nursing, and allied medical professions, in addition to the Comprehensive Cancer Center and Children's Hospital; 5) Large clinical caseload for cytology, hematology, clinical chemistry, hemostasis, immunology, transfusion medicine, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and molecular diagnostics.
Training Activities:
Clinical diagnostic duty; attendance at clinical, basic science, and research rounds and seminars; completion of formal courses and independent study; teaching in the veterinary curriculum; assistance in new test development and quality control; scheduled rotations through established departmental research laboratories. Residents move to grant-related funding after 1 year or expanded rotations at IDEXX Laboratories for the OSU-IDEXX position.
Additional Training Areas:
Surgical biopsy, electron microscopy, molecular biology, immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, microarray technology, real-time PCR, and mouse phenotyping. Training grants support additional opportunities in cancer research and the pathobiology of genetically modified mice.
