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
and private owners for necropsy. She supervises graduate students and Year
4 veterinary students during gross necropsy, sample collection, and
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
of their professional course requirements. She has a rotational assignment
to biopsy cases submitted from the VTH&C and supervises graduate students
in the completion of those cases.
Other teaching
commitments include participation in gross rounds, ocular pathology rounds
and dermatopathology rounds. Collaborative research has involved
retrospective review of melanocytic tumors in cats and congenital
cataracts in rabbits. Dr. Evans is a member of the American Association of
Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians.
