Veterinary Pathology
Veterinarians from the MGH Center for Comparative Medicine (Virtual Vivarium)and the New England Primate Research Center comprise a component of the faculty of the MGH Department of Pathology. The scope of their work encompasses comparative hematopathology, pathogenesis, and translational medicine of opportunistic infections, simian AIDS, and models of aging while providing postdoctoral training in comparative pathology and medicine. Nationally, post-DVM training in veterinary anatomic and/or clinical pathology is overseen by the American College of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP), an organization of board-certified scientists established in 1949 to promote excellence in veterinary pathology (www.acvp.org). The American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM) oversees post-DVM training and certification of veterinary specialists in laboratory animal medicine (www.aclam.org). Both ACVP and ACLAM require post-DVM training and expertise, with certifying examinations recognized by the American Board of Veterinary Specialties of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
