Program details
Overview
The Doctor of Philosophy in Veterinary Pathology provides rigorous, research-focused training in anatomic and clinical pathology within the Department of Veterinary Pathology. Faculty research spans infectious disease, immunity, oncology, wildlife health, and honey-bee pathology, and students contribute new knowledge to animal health and biomedical science through diagnostic pathology, laboratory investigation, and scholarly research. Admission is available either as non-direct entry, for applicants holding a relevant master's degree (a D.V.M. or equivalent is preferred but not required), or as direct entry for exceptionally strong candidates on the recommendation of the unit. Canadian applicants who hold a D.V.M. and have passed the NAVLE computer-based exam may compete for Interprovincial Graduate Fellowship funding. Graduates are prepared for advanced research and diagnostic careers in veterinary and biomedical pathology.
