Postdoctoral Training in Environmental PathologyPostdoctoral Training in Environmental Pathology This program supports a subspecialty of veterinary pathology trainees whose research and career interests are in the health effects of environmental agents. They are participants in a 6 year overall program leading to ACVP board eligibility and the Ph.D. in environmental pathology. Applicants are generally expected to have completed their clinical training in anatomic pathology and to have entered their graduate and research program. The program includes training in comparative anatomic pathology, course work in basic cell biology, the cellular and molecular basis of disease, and biochemical toxicology and pharmacology, along with a research activity sufficient to qualify for the Ph.D. in Comparative Pathology. Currently active research areas include: reproductive toxicants and teratogens, hazards posed by air pollutants, pesticides, industrial and natural toxicants, environmental carcinogens, effects of electromagnetic fields, hepatotoxins, pneumotoxins, and neurotoxins.
