« About Pathheads

The Student Chapter of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP) at the University of Georgia is more commonly referred as the PathHeads. As of September 2009, the chapter has 143 members, including our chapter officers. The chapter is advised by Dr. Kaori Sakamoto.

With the help of our faculty advisor and the pathology service department, our members are offered the opportunity to attend necropsy and slide rounds throughout the year. We also coordinate a number of necropsy wet labs, such as porcine, avian, and dolphin necropsy wet labs. Our members are also notified of pathology seminars and internship/ externship opportunities and encouraged to get involved with the pathology department outside of the classroom.

The pathology club participates in fundraisers to finance meetings and other activities. Past fund-raisers have included a Halloween baked goods and t-shirt sale, and t-shirts and candy sales at freshman orientation. We regularly have booths at local events with information about the club and upcoming events to encourage students to investigate pathology as a career choice.

Pathheads are also encouraged to participate in the annual meetings of the ACVP. For the 2009 ACVP annual meeting, the University of Georgia was able to send seven PathHeads members, with some students presenting posters at the convention. Travel funds covered transportation to Monterey, California, and lodging.
