The Department of Pathobiology and Diagnostic Investigation offers courses for students in the professional program in Veterinary Medicine. The department offers Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degree programs. Residency training in diagnostic veterinary anatomic or clinical pathology is also available. Graduate education and research may be directed to either human or animal pathology. Major areas of research in pathology provide the basis for advanced degree programs. These areas include toxicologic pathology, oncology, neuropathology, hematology in a broad sense, immunopathology, pathology of infectious diseases, reproductive and cardiovascular pathology, and pathology of animal models for human disease. Comparative aspects of disease processes may encompass a variety of species, including humans and domestic or wild mammals and birds, and may emphasize anthropozoonoses dealing with diseases transmissible across species lines. An interdisciplinary approach to problem solving will be applied in all instances where indicated.
