Veterinary Pathology Demystified, by Dr Aleksandra Zuraw

When asked what veterinary pathologists do, what would you answer?

The first, logical guess might be “they evaluate animal tissues under the microscope”. But why would they do it? What animals do they look at? And why does it matter? Those who have already had contact with this pathology specialty know that it is an extremely broad and deep discipline encompassing many animal species and applications.

In this presentation, we will talk about the route to becoming a veterinary pathologist, the potential application fields of the discipline and how veterinary pathologists contribute to the “One Health” approach and drug development.  

Aleksandra Zuraw is a toxicologic pathologist and an online publisher at the Digital Pathology Place. She graduated in veterinary medicine in Wroclaw, Poland, where she worked as a practitioner before pursuing the veterinary pathology training in Berlin, Germany. After finishing her residency and PhD she worked in a digital pathology company, which started a great passion for this discipline and resulted in the creation of the Digital Pathology Place – an online blog and podcast with digital pathology informational resources. The next steps in her career led her into the field of toxicologic pathology through Canada into the US (which is the sixth country where she has lived and worked).
