Veterinary Pathology Research Paper

This paper argues why veterinary pathology is a good career choice for me. I will share the history of veterinary pathology and how it came to be. I will also share the college of my choice, and go more into detail of the college. Along with this, I have also shared the major I have chosen and how I can be successful in this major. I have stated the pathway to becoming a successful veterinary pathologist, and explained all of the steps including all of the requirements. I shared one veterinary pathologist’ life that stood out to me because of this person's accomplishments.

A veterinary pathologist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing diseases by examining animal tissue and body fluids. In order to become a veterinary pathologist,

Benefitting from human pathology, veterinary pathology came around by Rudolf Virchow’s suggestion of autopsying farm animals. An autopsy is an examination to discover the cause of death of a living thing. The first chair of veterinary pathology was established in Berlin. There are two branches with pathology; clinical and anatomical. Clinical pathology covers a lot of laboratory functions and anatomical pathology is the study of the structural and functional changes in cells, tissues, and organs. You have to earn a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M). The American College of Veterinary Pathology provides voluntary certification in anatomic or clinical pathology, you have to complete a minimum of three years of training. In order for veterinary pathologist to diagnose disease and predict outcomes, they will need to examine tissues and body fluids. Veterinary pathologists also diagnose disease in food-producing animals. They help maintain herd health and establish if there is a risk to humans who consume or handle products from

I chose this college because it is first in veterinary medicine in the United States. They also have a Veterinary Pathology club which is perfect for me. UC Davis started as a university farm in 1908. In 1922, Davis established their first 4-year degree program. The School of Veterinary Medicine was established in 1946. UC Davis is a rural public school. They have a 38 percent acceptance rate for the freshmen. They usually come in with a 3.95-4.25 GPA. In order to apply at UC Davis, you need to have a high school diploma, have a C or higher in all A-G subjects, and take the ACT or SAT test. On campus tuition costs $34,323, off campus tuition costs $29,243. At this college, I would pursue a cell biology major. Cell biology combines principles from many disciplines for a more complete understanding of cell function. Cell biology majors at UC Davis have access to extensive laboratory resources and research opportunities. You can be at the forefront of new frontiers in research in genetics, disease processes and developmental biology. Requirements for this major include: biological sciences and mathematic concepts. In order to become a veterinary pathologist you need to complete many steps. First, you
