Class rank/GPA in Lab Animal Residency
Hello everyone. I'm a first-year interested in laboratory animal medicine. My school has gone pass/fail, and therefore I will not have a class rank or GPA. How, if at all, will this impact residency prospects (for lab animal med, but also just in general)? Theoretically, we can request a "Dean's letter," which will have a GPA and class rank quintile that they track internally, if we need it for applications but in general we do not have that information. Does "N/A" hurt your application...

Laboratory Courses Concerns
Hi!
I go to a school where Biology Laboratory 1 and 2 alongside Physics Laboratory 1 and 2 are only offered as a pass/fail courses. Additionally, they only offer one semester of General Chemistry Laboratory. I'm a Texas resident so I'm looking to apply to schools in the TMDSAS, will this make me look bad? This has not proven to be an issue for other pre-meds, as the Gel Chem laboratory is designed alongside both semesters of the Orgo lab to fill the Pre-Med laboratory requirements but I'm...

Doctor of Clinical Laboratory Science (DCLS) filling Medical Director roles
Mass General Brigham on LinkedIn: We welcome Ryan Mize, DCLS, MHA and Daniel Dees, DCLS, CC(NRCC), MLS(ASCP)… | 39 comments
I guess DCLS (Doctor of Clinical Laboratory Science) graduates are now able to work as pathology medical directors. Not laboratory supervisors, but MEDICAL DIRECTORS...! For those who don't know, DCLS programs are online programs designed for medical lab scientists/medical technologists. These programs aren't really comparable to traditional Ph.D. programs as...

Insight on how much "experimental surgery" is involved in Lab Animal specialty?
So as I've looked at different specialties with surgical procedures involved, something interesting I found were a few websites saying Lab Animal specialists are also trained in surgery and for "experimental surgery" (found here: How to Become a Laboratory Animal Veterinarian and here: DVM/MS in Laboratory Animal Medicine | Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine). Would anyone with insight in this specialty be able to share some more info on this? I've done a lot of animal...
