Anatomic Pathology Resident

The College of Veterinary Medicine at North Carolina State University (NC State) invites outstanding candidates to apply for three open 3-year residency positions in veterinary anatomic pathology beginning July 2027. The training program focuses on hands-on learning of anatomic pathology and ACVP board preparation under the supervision of eight ACVP board-certified anatomic pathologists, with special interests in aquatics/fish, swine, cancer, oral, and ocular pathology as well as pedagogy and viral oncogenesis. The resident will experience a busy, varied caseload on both necropsy and biopsy services with curricular teaching and research opportunities. The caseload is predominantly cats, dogs, small ruminants, horses, exotics, zoo animals, and aquatics, with smaller numbers of lab animals, cows, poultry, and pigs. One position, as relevant, may have flexibility to do a specialized track with increased service in aquatic pathology. Applicants must possess a DVM or equivalent degree from a North American AVMA-accredited or international AVMA-listed veterinary college, have an excellent academic record, strong communication skills, and be committed to a career in veterinary anatomic pathology. For additional questions about the program, please contact Dr. Abby Armwood at [email protected] or Dr. Liz Rose at [email protected].

NC State University is near two other major universities (Duke University and the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill) and the Research Triangle Park, which includes multiple government agencies, non-profit institutes, biotechnology, and large pharmaceutical companies. In addition, the state diagnostic laboratory lies within close proximity to the CVM campus. Opportunities for collaboration and externships are possible for capable, interested residents.

See https://cvm.ncsu.edu/academics/residencies/anatomic-pathology/ for program description and additional information. Stipends will begin at $54,000 per year.
