Lab Sections - Clinical Pathology
The Clinical Pathology Laboratory is located in the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH), B202 Clydesdale Hall. It consists of a primary laboratory, a slide-reading room and library, an after-hours laboratory for use by clinicians and students, and an adjacent teaching laboratory.
