Dr. Evans' has a split appointment; assignment in diagnostic service is primarily to the Louisiana Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory where there is a rotational assignment to cases (surgical biopsy and mail-in necropsy tissues) submitted primarily from veterinarians in the state of Louisiana as well as from across the region (including Arkansas, Mississippi, Florida). She reviews microscopic slides, formulates diagnoses and prepares pathology reports, interpreting and incorporating all support laboratory data (e.g. bacteriology, cytology) as needed. Consultations are done with veterinarians, local, state and regulatory officials.
Dr. Evans also has a
rotational assignment to cases submitted for disease diagnosis from the
Veterinary Teaching Hospital and Clinics (VTH&C), local veterinary clinics

assignment to auxiliary labs. Histopathologic interpretation on postmortem
specimens, interpretation of support laboratory results, formulating
diagnoses and report preparation are done with graduate students as part

to biopsy cases submitted from the VTH&C and supervises graduate students
in the completion of those cases.
