In this episode of A Conversation in Veterinary Pathology - the A.C.V.P. Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Anne Provencher, the 2026 president of the American College of Veterinary Pathology. This interview was recorded in 2024 when she was the President-Elect, so we could learn more about the clinical pathologist, toxicologic pathology expert, and longtime leader and volunteer who is now our president. Dr. Provencher shares her unconventional journey into clinical pathology, the mentors and experiences that shaped her career, and the lessons she has learned about persistence, leadership, and professional growth along the way. We also discuss the evolving role of clinical pathologists in drug development and toxicologic pathology, and the importance of mentorship and volunteer service.
Stay tuned for a future episode where we learn more about her goals as president in an interview with 2025 President, Dr. Rachel Reams. But for now, sit back and be inspired as we get to know Dr. Anne Provencher.

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.
