A Conversation in Veterinary Pathology - The A.C.V.P. Podcast

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Emily Graff, a clinical pathologist and Associate Professor at Auburn University in the Department of Pathobiology, whose career reflects the power of flexibility, curiosity, and resilience in veterinary pathology. Together, we chat about how clinical experience drives translational research, the importance of self-awareness and adaptability in training, and the very real challenges—both personal and professional—that shape growth along the way. This conversation also highlights the value of supportive environments, sustainable self-care, and the diverse, creative nature of pathology as both a science and an art. So pull up a chair and grab a mug of tea for our conversation with Dr. Emily Graff. ____ Links ACVP Errors in Publication Portal 2026 ACVP Annual Meeting, Nov 14-17 in Indianapolis, IN ACVP Official Website (Become a member or renew your membership, today!) ____ ACVP Social Media Facebook - ACVP Meetings and Topics Instagram - americancollegevetpath X (Twitter) - @ACVP LinkedIn - AMERICAN COLLEGE OF VETERINARY PATHOLOGISTS ____ Music: Guestlist by Podington Bear, licensed under an Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 International License.
