What is a Veterinary Anatomic Pathology job?

A Veterinary Anatomic Pathology job involves diagnosing diseases in animals by examining tissues and organs at the microscopic and macroscopic levels. Veterinary anatomic pathologists work in research, academia, government, or private industry, contributing to disease surveillance, drug development, and education. They perform post-mortem examinations (necropsies) and analyze biopsy samples to identify causes of illness. Their findings help veterinarians, researchers, and public health officials make informed decisions about animal and human health.

What does a typical workday look like for a Veterinary Anatomic Pathologist?

A typical day for a Veterinary Anatomic Pathologist involves examining tissue samples and organs from animals, preparing and interpreting microscopic slides, and generating detailed pathology reports. You will often collaborate with veterinarians, researchers, or pharmaceutical teams to provide diagnostic insight and support clinical or research decisions. Routine responsibilities also include attending case review meetings, participating in necropsies, and sometimes mentoring veterinary students or residents. The work is primarily laboratory-based but requires strong communication skills to explain findings and contribute to multidisciplinary teams.

  • Perform gross and microscopic post mortem evaluation of NHP and other laboratory and wildlife species when indicated (less than 5% of caseload) in support of the ONPRC NHP colony. Includes characterization of spontaneous NHP diseases potentially useful as models for human diseases and diseases of importance to laboratory NHP colonies.
  • Provide training for pre and post graduate veterinarians through participation in on campus externships and residency programs as well as the support of a post graduate training position in NHP pathology through one-on-one teaching and lectures.
  • Serve as a resource for NHP pathology by participation in teaching, publications, and presentations in local, national and international settings, and contributions to the NPRC Primate Pathology Image Database.
  • As needed, perform various duties to successfully fulfill the mission of the Unit.

Required Qualifications
  • D.V.M./V.M.D. degree from a veterinary school listed by the American Veterinary Medical Association.
  • Three years diagnostic pathology experience (may be part of post-DVM residency training).

  • Strong organizational skills.
  • Strong interpersonal skills.
  • ACVP or ECVP board eligibility in Anatomic Pathology.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Master's degree or Ph.D. in pathology-related area of study.
