Veterinary Clinical Pathology

This curriculum has been prepared by the Specialty Advisory Committee on Veterinary Clinical Pathology (SAC) to provide trainees, educational supervisors and trainers to set out the requirements for the successful completion of the veterinary clinical pathology training programme. 

There are currently 3 internationally recognised veterinary pathology qualifications (FRCPath, ECVP and ACVP) that residents can work towards. Each qualification varies in its respective training and examination format. In additional, individual training Centres may differ in how their respective training is delivered and assessed. However, all residents must satisfy themselves that the training offered meets the requirements of the respective College examination they are working towards. If clarification is required, residency candidates should contact the Examinations office of the respective Colleges to discuss their queries.
