Public Service Diagnostic Laboratory Service: Pathology duty at the UGA TVDIL consists primarily of necropsy, biopsy, cytology, and endocrinology interpretations. The schedule is based on a three day rotation as follows: day one the pathologist receives cytology and phone calls, day two the pathologist receives necropsies
and biopsies, on day three the pathologists receives biopsies and the histology portion of the received necropsies. Please see below descriptions for each major duty: Necropsy duty: Shared between three anatomic pathologists at the laboratory and usually on duty 1 to 2 days per week. Histopathology on necropsied animals is typically reported to the client the following day. Included with necropsy duty are mail-in necropsies (FFTI/ necropsies in a jar ). Biopsy duty: Shared between three anatomic pathologists. Pathologists are on biopsy duty concurrently with the necropsy service day plus the following day. Under normal circumstances, the final report is sent to the client (email or fax) within one working day of the laboratory receiving the tissue sample. Cytology duty: Shared between three anatomic pathologists. Pathologists are typically on cytology duty 1 to 2 days per week. Under normal circumstances the cytology report is sent to the client on the same day the laboratory receives the sample. Endocrinology duty: Shared between two pathologists. Pathologists interpret results from various endocrinology tests performed by the Clinical Pathology Section (i.e. thyroid function, adrenal function, progesterone levels, estradiol levels, and testosterone levels). The two pathologists alternate endocrinology duty on a weekly basis. Typically interpretations are reported the same day of the receipt of the sample. Pathologists also are responsible for a variety of miscellaneous tests such as external rabies testing, cremations, euthanasia, spinal cord removal, report addendums, pathology consults, and fluid analyses (the miscellaneous tests are not included in the table below).
