Welcome to Veterinary Pathology!
Veterinary pathology is the study of the nature, causes, and effects of animal disease. The Department of Pathology at The University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine is dedicated to the study, diagnosis and control of animal disease through our veterinary student curriculum, residency and graduate training programs, ongoing research, and quality diagnostic services.
Points of Interest
Prospective students should visit Programs of Study for information about our residency, externship, and graduate programs (MS and PhD) in veterinary pathology.
Information on the services we provide may be found in Service Laboratories, Diagnostic Services, and Research Services.
