About This Role:

Come explore the exciting world of veterinary pathology with us at KSU in Manhattan, Kansas.

The Department of Diagnostic Medicine/Pathobiology (https://www.vet.k-state.edu/academics/dmp/residency/residency.html) at Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine (KSU CVM) supports a residency program in veterinary anatomic pathology. Two positions are available starting between June 1 and August 1, 2025. We are seeking highly motivated, hard-working, and dependable individuals with a DVM or equivalent degree, a great sense of humor, a keen interest in being a life-long learner, and strong interest and motivation to pursue a career in veterinary anatomic pathology. This is a full-time position with the possibility of annual renewal for up to 3 years based on performance.

The successful candidates will join our team of eight board certified veterinary anatomic pathologists and four anatomic pathology resident trainees (two per year) in the Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (KSVDL) and Department of Diagnostic Medicine/Pathobiology (DMP).

These experiences are also intended to prepare trainees for successful completion of Phases 1 and 2 of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists certification examination.
