The minimum requirements for the selected candidate include a DVM or equivalent, ACVP or ECVP board eligibility, and licensure or eligibility for licensure in Wisconsin. Two years of post-residency experience in diagnostic anatomic pathology, research experience and/or a PhD, as well as a demonstrated strong interest and experience in training pathology residents, are preferred but not required.
