The ACVP/STP Coalition for Veterinary Pathology Fellows represents a unique partnership between the highest quality North American academic training programs and world-class biopharmaceutical companies to provide much-needed, well trained veterinary pathologists.
Funding for the WSU position was provided by Amgen, a leading human therapeutics company in the biotechnology industry. “Valuable support from Amgen, through the ACVP/STP Coalition, not only allows WSU to train additional anatomic pathologists, addressing a critical shortage of highly qualified specialists in the global biomedical community but also greatly enhances the training experience by fostering direct, on-site, face-to-face interactions of the Fellow and academic training department with biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry sponsors,” said Dr. Tim Baszler, professor, Department of Veterinary Microbiology and Pathology, and director, Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory.
