careers in veterinary pathology

There is now a web site containing information on careers in veterinary pathology. It is aimed at anyone (undergraduate, graduate or student) who is interested in our discipline and you can access it by clicking here.

If you know of students or practitioners who are interested in following a career in veterinary pathology, this is a good place for them to start, so please point them in the right direction.

digitised slides for self assessment

Do you want to look at some digitised slides and test your diagnostic skills? If you click on the icon, you will be linked to the Digital Slidebox. In this site you can apply for an account (for free) and browse the three cases that will be displayed each month. There are about 50 free subscriptions still available.

You will be linked to a server that contains the whole digitised slide for each case (up to x40 objective) and you can examine it in detail at your own pace. If you wish to write a description and diagnoses, then compare them with those of the contributor, you can do so interactively.
