The proposed Area of Emphasis in Diagnostic Medicine was developed to prepare qualified veterinarians for future training and/or employment in fields of veterinary diagnostic medicine, including anatomic pathology, clinical pathology, wildlife pathology, and clinical microbiology. The program is aimed to provide introductory training to the intern in all aspects of diagnostic medicine, including necropsy, histopathology, cytology, hematology, clinical chemistry, flow cytometry, bacteriology, virology, immunodiagnostics, and molecular diagnostics, and more specific training in one to two selected areas. Graduates of this program will gain a broader understanding of the basic principles and clinical practices of diagnostic medicine as preparation for future specialty training (i.e., residency) and certification in anatomic pathology, clinical pathology, or microbiology.
