The clinical pathology laboratory supports a diverse caseload, including small and large animals, zoo species, and research cases.

Members of faculty in the Academic Clinician (AC) track faculty are primarily devoted to clinical service in the Matthew J.

Developing or maintaining an independent scholarship or research is not a focus of the AC track and is not a requirement for reappointment or promotion. However, faculty on this track may pursue individual research projects and support research requiring clinical pathology expertise, provided these activities do not detract from excellence in clinical service and teaching. Faculty AC positions are long-term, non-tenured Associated Faculty positions with reappointment every three years. Promotion along the ladder of the University Academic ranks is available.
