    Our wildlife health experts have an established network of relationships with wildlife organizations throughout the Mid-Atlantic region and the U.S. Partners and affiliates have the opportunity to leverage our diagnostic laboratory testing capabilities, our wildlife field operations, and the expertise of our wildlife pathologists, epidemiologists, and ecologists.

    The SODAPOP Metacognitive Framework

    Choosing an antimicrobial is a complicated clinical task particularly for veterinary students and trainees. The SODAPOP Metacognitive Framework was developed to help future antimicrobial prescribers “think about thinking about” choosing an antimicrobial.

    For instructors interested in incorporating SODAPOP into their classroom, Stephen Cole, VMD, MS, DACVM, at Penn Vet has developed five small animal cases and two validated rubrics for your use with SODAPOP that are available for use upon request.

    Cores & Labs

    Shared laboratories and facilities are an integral part of research and education. They are cost effective and serve as the nexus for productive research collaborations. Penn Vet has several technology-based core facilities and laboratories that offer a variety of research, consultative, and statistical services.
