As a veterinary pathologist, your duties are slightly different depending on whether you work in small or large animal veterinary medicine and whether you run a practice that deals mainly with pets or a business that involves consulting and research services for a rancher or other livestock operation. As a small animal or family practice pathologist, your responsibilities are to diagnose diseases in animals. You study tissue samples from organs and body fluid to reach a diagnosis. In livestock veterinary pathology, a veterinary pathologist studies herds for communicable diseases that may affect production. Some veterinary pathologists work for the FDA or other federal programs to investigate outbreaks.
| Aspect | Veterinary Pathologist | Veterinary Laboratory Technician |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) or equivalent, specialized training in pathology | Associate's or Bachelor's degree in veterinary technology or related field |
| Work Environment | Research labs, diagnostic laboratories, universities, or veterinary hospitals | Veterinary clinics, diagnostic labs, research facilities |
| Industry Usage | Focuses on diagnosing diseases through tissue analysis and research | Performs laboratory tests, prepares samples, and assists in diagnostics |
While both roles work within veterinary diagnostics, Veterinary Pathologists specialize in disease diagnosis through tissue examination and research, requiring advanced degrees. Veterinary Laboratory Technicians support diagnostic processes by performing tests and preparing samples, often with less formal education. Understanding these differences helps clarify career paths and job expectations in veterinary diagnostics.
