What is a veterinary clinical pathologist?

A Veterinary Clinical Pathologist is a specialized veterinarian who diagnoses diseases by analyzing laboratory samples such as blood, urine, and tissue fluids. They work closely with other veterinarians to interpret test results and guide treatment plans for animals. Their role involves using techniques like microscopy, hematology, and clinical chemistry to detect infections, immune disorders, and other medical conditions. Clinical pathologists may work in veterinary diagnostic labs, research institutions, or academia, contributing to both animal health and scientific advancements.

What does a veterinary clinical pathologist do?

A typical day for a Veterinary Clinical Pathologist involves reviewing and interpreting laboratory specimens such as blood, fluid, and tissue samples, preparing diagnostic reports, and consulting with referring veterinarians about challenging cases. You may also participate in quality control activities, collaborate with laboratory technologists, and contribute to training or educational sessions within your organization. While the role is often based in a laboratory or diagnostic center, there may also be opportunities for telepathology or remote consultations. The work is intellectually stimulating, requiring accuracy and efficiency, and there is frequent interaction with veterinary professionals to support optimal patient care.

Job description

About This Role

The Department of Diagnostic Medicine/Pathobiology at Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine (KSU CVM) supports a residency program in veterinary clinical pathology. One position is available starting on July 1, 2027. We are seeking highly motivated, dependable, and career-driven individuals with a DVM or equivalent degree and a strong commitment to clinical pathology. This is a full-time position with annual contract renewal for up to 3 years, subject to satisfactory performance. The successful candidate will join a dynamic team of board-certified clinical and anatomic pathologists, along with diagnostic internship trainees, within the Kansas Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (KVDL) and the Department of Diagnostic Medicine/Pathobiology (DMP). The residency offers intensive, hands-on training in veterinary clinical pathology within a case-rich diagnostic environment. A particular strength of the program is its broad and diverse caseload, including a wide range of domestic species as well as a regular exposure to exotic, zoological, and non-traditional animal samples, providing residents with unique diagnostic exposure. Residents will develop strong, practical expertise in hematology, clinical chemistry, cytology, and quality control, with opportunities to collaborate across multiple diagnostic laboratories within the KVDL to investigate complex and challenging cases. Close mentorship from experienced faculty supports progressive development of independent diagnostic reasoning, exposure to a broad spectrum of species and disease processes, and growing confidence in client communication and case interpretation. In parallel with diagnostic service work, residents will take an active role in teaching DVM students across all years through assisting laboratory sessions, leading slide review discussions, and instructing fine-needle aspiration (FNA) techniques during veterinary students’ clinical rotations. These teaching experiences further strengthen communication, leadership, and instructional skills in a structured academic environment. Scholarly activity is strongly supported, with opportunities for case-based publications, applied research projects, and presentations at regional and national scientific meetings. Together, these integrated clinical, teaching, and scholarly experiences are designed to provide a rigorous foundation for successful completion of Phases I and II of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP) board certification examination, while preparing residents for highly competitive careers in academia, diagnostic laboratories, and industry.
