6d•Onsite

About The Position

The Shreiber School of Veterinary Medicine (SSVM) at Rowan University invites applications for a one-year fellowship or senior residency position in veterinary clinical pathology beginning November 1, 2026 or until filled. This position is designed for a resident who will have completed two years of an ACVP recognized clinical pathology training program and wishes to complete the final year of training at Rowan. Post-residency board-certified or eligible applicants are welcome to apply. The successful applicant will train under the primary guidance of a Rowan University ACVP board certified clinical pathologist, with supplemental guidance from 2 ACVP board certified anatomic pathologists. Residents completing the final year at Rowan remain eligible for ACVP board certification, and Rowan will provide the documentation required for the Phase II application. This position is structured with dedicated, calendared time for ACVP certifying examination preparation, supported by faculty experienced in the examination. Residents will gain teaching experience by instructing alongside faculty in the second-year DVM clinical pathology course, contributing to case-based instruction, and working with fourth-year students on clinical service. Residents interested in an academic career will develop a documented teaching record suitable for faculty applications. Case exposure and scholarship opportunities include participation in cytology and clinical pathology rounds, gross and microscopic pathology rounds, and specialty rounds. Residents are encouraged to present at regional and national meetings and to complete a small research project aimed at peer-reviewed publication. All clinical pathology training takes place in Glassboro. The teaching hospital has a growing caseload. In the first six months of operation, the laboratory received approximately 150 cytology and fluid analysis submissions, along with approximately 1,000 hematology, chemistry, urinalysis, and endocrinology cases. Residents will review essentially every case that comes through the laboratory with direct faculty guidance. A resident or fellow who completes the final year at Rowan will be well-acquainted with the faculty, caseload, curriculum, and students, making them a strong candidate for anticipated faculty openings in clinical pathology at SSVM. Rowan University conducts open, competitive searches for all faculty positions; this residency is not an offer of future employment and does not guarantee appointment to a faculty position. SSVM is New Jersey's first veterinary school. The 167,000 square foot building houses a full-service small animal teaching hospital, an academic facility with lab and classroom space, and research laboratory space. Services provided include primary care, emergency, anesthesia, cardiology, critical care, dermatology, dentistry, exotics, internal medicine, neurology, oncology, ophthalmology, radiology, clinical pathology, anatomic pathology, and surgery.
