Introduction

Dear Colleagues:

To address the growing deficit of veterinary pathologists in industry, academia, and government, the American College of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP) and the Society of Toxicologic Pathology (STP) have formed a coalition tasked with increasing the training opportunities in veterinary pathology. The following article by Drs. Cockerell and Patterson describes the magnitude of the pathologist shortage and explains how the coalition plans to create new training opportunities. As presidents of the ACVP and STP, we request the assistance of private and public-sector organizations in providing financial support for new training positions in veterinary pathology. We also encourage institutions with veterinary pathology training programs to submit competitive applications for these new positions. The goal of this initiative is to fund five new training positions during this inaugural year, and a total of 15 new positions by the end of 2007. We believe the success of this industry–academia–government collaborative effort is critical for serving the needs of the biomedical community and that it can serve as a model for other research-oriented specialties with similar shortages of highly qualified specialists.
