The residency in Veterinary Anatomic Pathology at The University of Georgia was sponsored by a scholarship
granted by the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development during my Ph.D.
All the academic credentials (DVM, MS, and PhD) have been submitted for evaluation of compatibility and
equivalency by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO). All
three degrees are equivalent and comparable to the corresponding education levels from any accredited college
or university in the United States of America.

DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE
Biopsy service: Biopsy cases ranging from 10-20 cases are assigned on a daily basis with a
turnaround time of approximately 3 days. Samples from dogs, cats, food animals, horses, and less
often birds and exotic species are examined. Samples are originated from live animals awaiting
veterinary therapy or from dead animals in order to determine the cause of death. All results are
entered in the computer system, and a report is sent to the submitting veterinarian. Reports usually
contain a detailed histologic description, a diagnosis, and a comment concerning pertinent features of
the diagnosed disease or condition. Additional staining or immunohistochemistry is performed when
necessary or requested by the referring veterinarian.
Necropsy service: I am on necropsy duty approximately 12 weeks per year (plus selected weekends
and holidays). Components of a necropsy are gross dissection, sample collection, assignment of
ancillary tests, histopathology, and interpretation of these results, with generation of a final report.
Additional staining or immunohistochemistry is performed when necessary or requested by the
referring veterinarian. During necropsies I supervise a group of 4-6 veterinary students participating
in the gross pathology rotation and discuss the cases before and after necropsy.
Consultations with other pathologists at the Department of Pathology and Athens Veterinary
Diagnostic Laboratory occur regularly.
Telephone consultations with clients regarding biopsy or necropsy results occur on a daily basis.
TEACHING ACTIVITIES
2013 – Present (The University of Georgia)
VPAT 5400 Diagnostic Pathology (Course coordinator): This graduate-level course is designed to
introduce veterinary students to the routine procedures in the necropsy room. Discussions are
performed before and during necropsy and consist of exploring differential diagnoses and practicing
description and interpretation of gross changes, as well as determination of ancillary diagnostic tests
in each case.
2012 – Present (The University of Georgia)
VPAT 8002 Gross Pathology (Course coordinator): This anatomic pathology resident-level course is
presented to the anatomic pathology residents or other students. It consists of two portions: (1)
Lectures on gross pathology of different animal species; and (2) Gross mock tests based on the
American College of Veterinary Pathologists annual certifying examination test.
2014 – Present (The University of Georgia)
AVDL Histopathology Rounds: These are bi-monthly meetings where the anatomic pathology
residents examine routine cases and discuss the histological findings and the systematic approach on
diagnostic pathology.
2013 (The University of Georgia)
3
Pathology Rotation: This course is intended to give veterinary students an insight into anatomic
veterinary pathology by participating in the diagnostic activities of the AVDL. Students assist faculty
in their duties and will be assigned specific independent tasks.
2006 – 2008 (UFSM)
PTG 1010 Pathology of Ruminants and Horses: This graduate-level course was designed to introduce
veterinary students to the diagnostic management (epidemiology, clinical aspects, pathology, and
ancillary diagnostic tests) of the common diseases of livestock in Southern Brazil.
2004 – 2010 (UFSM)
PTG 1001 Systemic Pathology of Domestic Animals: This graduate-level course was designed to
introduce veterinary students to the physiopathology of changes occurring during disease in domestic
animals. A practice necropsy rotation was part of this course and involved discussions on differential
diagnoses, practicing on gross description and interpretation of gross changes, and determination of
ancillary diagnostic tests in each case.
