Students doing an externship at Charles River Ashland will spend time learning about laboratory animal medicine as well as pathology. Working with the laboratory animal veterinarians, they will observe surgeries and/or treatments of laboratory animal species including but not limited to canines, rodents, and non-human primates. Additionally, students will spend time in necropsy observing post mortem examinations on these species. Time spent in pathology will include independent review of current and/or past study material followed by discussion with study pathologists over findings including common background lesions in laboratory animal species. Additionally, the student will spend time in the clinical pathology department discussing various laboratory tests and reviewing study material. Time permitting, the student will have an opportunity to interact with study directors to learn about study design at prestudy meetings.
