Call your local lab and ask to come in for a day or two, that way you can get a proper feel for it and chat to the pathologists about the job and how they got there - you may find there are several different routes in. The pathologists we use both went down the residency route so also look at the European College of Veterinary Pathology website as there is lots of info on there. The ECVP has a clinical scholar vacancy at Cambridge currently advertised, if you are sure this is the career choice for you perhaps look into this as an option:

Sorry for my lack of concretion; I was referring to become a Clin Path specialist; I know that there are residency programs in most UK universities but do you know if it's a requirement to have an internship as the other residences? I know that for anatomic pathology is not necessary. I have also thought that maybe in a private lab you can start as a "new grad". Any clinical path who can explain me what he recommend me? or any opinion will be very welcome.

Thanks!

Could you speak to one of the clinical pathologists at one of the commercial labs to discuss how they got into it and how they suggest you do?
