The ultimate goal of the residency portion of this training program is successful certification by the American College of Veterinary Pathologists. The remaining time will be devoted to PhD training with intense investigation into the broad specialty area of diagnostic imaging at the OMRF, where the faculty conduct cutting-edge research in biomedical science using a cross-disciplinary approach focusing on such critical research areas as heart disease, cancer, lupus, and Alzheimer’s disease. Anticipated starting date is July 1, 2010. The annual stipend will start at $40,000.00 per year plus a benefits package that includes health insurance.
