The Veterinary Diagnostic Pathology Certificate program offers veterinarians with relevant experience a valuable pathway to qualify for—or enhance their readiness to take—the American College of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP) certification exam.
This program generally runs from mid-August to mid-August the following year. Out of the 52-week period, participants get two weeks for vacation and two weeks covering statutory holidays and university closures. The remaining 48 weeks (divided into three 16-week terms) are split evenly between 24 weeks focused on veterinary diagnostic pathology instruction and 24 weeks dedicated to diagnostic casework, research, academic pursuits, independent study, and attending pertinent conferences, as planned by the student and their advisory committee.
