Site content is currently maintained and updated by Dr. Tracy Stokol, with the help of the other veterinary clinical pathologists – see below. Images are generated from our digital camera by all veterinary clinical pathologists and clinical pathology trainees – we only use our own images, unless we have permission for other image use. All veterinary clinical pathologists and trainees contribute to Case of the Month. Students on a Veterinary Clinical Pathology Opportunity Block at Cornell University are also responsible for generating a Case of the Month as part of a rotation requirement and some of these cases are or will be posted on the site.

Current faculty and residents can be found on our Veterinary Clinical Pathology website.

Site history

eClinpath was originally created by Drs. Julia Blue and Tracy French, veterinary clinical pathologists at Cornell University, for helping teach veterinary students clinical pathology with the new (at that time) self-driven case-based curriculum at Cornell University. This site was written and coded by Dr. French using a now “ancient” code writer (self-taught). The site text was populated by a textbook that Drs. Blue and French had written for the students at Cornell University (and was only available internally). At that time, there were far fewer resources on veterinary clinical pathology than there are now (very few of the current textbooks were available). The site was initially only used internally in the College but then Dr. French made it available on the world-wide web in the early 1990s. It was the first veterinary clinical pathology-related website. Updating the design and navigability site has been a long-term goal, which has come to fruition, but still lots of work to do and lots more to add. This will be a life-long commitment, including adding references to the site (which is currently not a referenced resource).

Updates

You can now follow updates and other information (e.g. articles we read) on Twitter: @eClinPathCU, Facebook and Instagram (eclinpath_cornell). We also update the landing page of eClinPath.com.
