CDC Laboratory Animal Medicine Residency Program

The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) invites applications for a 2-year residency program in Laboratory Animal Medicine. The program is designed to meet the training requirements for ACLAM certification and prepares veterinarians for careers in biomedical research. The two year program consists of clinical experience paired with core didactic training in laboratory animal medicine and mentored research. Research opportunities are available in several areas including infectious diseases and biocontainment. Upon completing the two year residency program, participants will incur a two year service obligation at the CDC. A salary equivalent to a GS-9 (approximately $46,680) will be provided for the first year. Compensation during subsequent years will increase based on successful completion of the curriculum and program.=20
