<p>134.121.178.189: Amplified section on anatomic pathology, and added link to veterinary medicine.</p> <hr /> <div>&lt;!-- The onlyinclude markups are needed for proper transclusion in [[Pathology]]; please do not remove --&gt;<br /> &lt;onlyinclude&gt;{{spinout/title|Veterinary pathology|Veterinary pathologists}} are [[veterinarians|doctors of veterinary medicine]] who specialise in the [[diagnosis]] of diseases through the examination of animal tissue and body fluids. Like for medical {{spinout/link|pathology}}, veterinary pathology is divided in two branches, [[anatomical pathology]] and [[clinical pathology]]. Veterinary pathologists are critical participants in the drug development process.&lt;/onlyinclude&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Veterinary anatomical pathology==<br /> [[Anatomical pathology]] (''Commonwealth'') or ''Anatomic pathology'' (''U.S.'') is concerned with the diagnosis of disease based on the [[gross examination|gross]], [[Histopathology|microscopic]], and [[Molecular pathology|molecular]] examination of [[organ (anatomy)|organs]], [[tissue (biology)|tissues]], and whole bodies ([[autopsy]]). The American College of Veterinary Pathologists certifies veterinary pathologists through a certifying exam. This consists of four parts - gross pathology, microscopic pathology, veterinary pathology (a review of the current literature), and general pathology. Only the general pathology section is shared between the anatomic and clinical pathology examinations. Anatomic pathologists are employed in a number of different positions, including diagnostics, teaching, research, and the pharmaceutical industry.<br /> <br /> ==Veterinary clinical pathology==<br /> [[Clinical pathology]] is concerned with the diagnosis of disease based on the [[Medical laboratory|laboratory]] analysis of [[bodily fluid]]s such as [[blood]] and [[urine]], using the tools of [[clinical chemistry|chemistry]], [[Clinical microbiology|microbiology]], [[hematology]] and [[molecular pathology]]. The American College of Veterinary Pathologists certifies veterinary clinical pathologists. Their credential, DACVP (Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Pathologists) is usually followed by a parenthetical notation of &quot;(Clinical Pathology)&quot; to distinguish DACVP counterparts certified for anatomic pathology. <br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Veterinary Medicine]]<br /> * [[Pathology]]<br /> * [[Medical laboratory]]<br /> * [[Anatomic pathology]]<br /> * [[Medical technologist]]<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> [http://www.acvp.org/ American College of Veterinary Pathologists]<br /> <br /> {{Veterinary specialties}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Veterinary medicine|*]]</div>
