Summary

1 / 3

Recent recorded grades — Spring 2025: 4.00 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=34 letter grades); Fall 2025: 4.00 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=10 letter grades); Spring 2026: 4.00 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=7 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

  • Perform accurate and complete routine gross necropsy procedures, methods, and techniques.

  • Describe and interpret gross morphologic lesions and clearly, concisely, and accurately record these in a written report.

  • Select and sample tissues for histopathological examination using proper technique.

  • Select and sample specimens for ancillary procedures (e.g., cytology, bacteriology, virology, etc.).

  • Correlate pathologic changes with clinical, clinicopathological, imaging, and other findings, to better understand and explain disease pathogenesis.

  • Differentiate between normal anatomy and anatomic differences (between individuals and between species), and postmortem autolysis, artifactual changes, and true pathological lesions.
