Description of Externship:
Johns Hopkins Department of Molecular and Comparative Pathobiology offers two (2) summer fellowships to veterinary students. The program focuses on acquiring competence in diagnostic pathology in a wide range of laboratory, domestic and exotic animals. Trainees participate in the animal necropsy service for laboratory animals housed within the University as well as cases from the Maryland Zoo, National Aquarium in Baltimore, and local practitioners. Trainees perform gross necropsies, trim tissues and make histopathologic diagnoses. Cases are signed out with one of five ACVP Diplomates on faculty.
Trainees will work side by side with DVM’s participating in the postdoctoral fellowship program in Comparative Medicine. Necropsy rotation will be two to three days a week. You will not be required to be on evening or weekend call.
The program starts early May to early June and continues for a minimum period of 8 weeks, up to a maximum of 12 weeks and provides a monthly stipend of approximately $1765. Starting date is flexible as we work with your summer schedule. To be eligible for a fellowship, a student must have completed 2 years of the professional veterinary curriculum.
To apply for the program, please send a letter stating your background, interests and goals, a transcript of veterinary college courses, and two (2) letters of recommendation from faculty members. Please mail application to Nancy Nath, Academic Program Coordinator, Department of Molecular and Comparative Pathobiology, Johns Hopkins University, 733 N. Broadway, Suite 811, Baltimore, MD 21205-2196, or e-mail to nnath2@jhmi.edu no later then February 5th.
