Veterinary Pathologists

Veterinary pathologists are veterinarians whose area of specialization is the diagnosis of disease by investigating animal tissue and fluids. Similar to pathology in human medicine, the discipline is divided into two sections, anatomical pathology and clinical pathology. Pathologists of veterinary medicine help both human and animal welfare through diagnosing diseases in kept animals and food-producing animals, by conducting essential research and through investigating drug discovery and safety. Pathologists may work in diagnostic laboratories, academic institutions, the science industry and for various government agencies. They provide essential understanding in the relationship between animal diseases and humans. All types of veterinary pathology can be studied at schools of veterinary medicine
