We are so proud to announce the launch of our newest course, Foundations of Pathology. This course, which we highly recommend for first-year residents, will be similar in some ways to the previous Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course but will be aimed at those just beginning their journey. We want to get you off to a great start by sharing with you our accumulated knowledge about how to evaluate, interpret, and describe gross, microscopic, and ultrastructural lesions, plus how to properly interpret IHC, ISH, and molecular testing. We will have discussions about how to structure study during your residency, available resources, and networking. We believe this course will create a strong foundation on which you can build, no matter what kind of training program you are in. The course will include a three full-day virtual component (September 20-22, 8:00-5:00 CDT Friday-Sunday), and two half-day in-person components at the annual ACVP meeting (November 18 and 19, 1:30-5:00 pm). Attendance at the in-person component will be limited to the first 40 registrants this year due to space constraints.
The Davis-Thompson Foundation will be hosting the 2nd, biannual, Invertebrate Pathology Seminar on September 27, 2024. This one day, completely virtual, seminar will include case presentations and a keynote lecture by Dr. Michelle Dennis, Associate Professor at University of Tennessee, and co-guest editor of the special issue of Veterinary Pathology on Invertebrate Pathology. Dr. Dennis’s research focuses on aquatic invertebrate diseases, and will be highlighted in her presentation titled “Emerging Diseases in Wild Aquatic Invertebrates.” Following the keynote presentation, the seminar will feature 15 minute case presentations on the gross and microscopic pathology of air, land, and aquatic invertebrates.

Five outstanding speakers will present a workshop based on material from the upcoming fifth volume of the series, Surgical Pathology of Tumors of Domestic Animals: Tumors of the gastrointestinal system. This meeting will target veterinary students, interns, residents, and anatomic pathologists involved in diagnostics. The conference will be organized into presentations and case-based interactive discussions with digital microscopy files available to registrants prior to the meeting. Case presentations will be used to illustrate the approach and diagnostic features of different GI tumors and their main differential diagnoses.
We can't wait to e-see y'all at the acclaim Register today for this phenomenal opportunity. This course will grant you access to comprehensive lectures on cell adaptations, tissue repair, inflammation, hemodynamics, pathogenesis, immunity, neoplasia, and more...!
Don't miss out on this opportunity, we are bringing the prestigious Descriptive Pathology Course to Australia! Save these dates on your calendar, March 31- April 4, 2025. This in-person meeting presented in Taronga Zoo Sydney will have lectures from Dr. Linden Craig (the necropsy queen), Dr. Jey Koehler (the “don’t waste words” queen), and Dr. Patty Pesavento (the EM anchor queen) on recognizing, describing, and interpreting gross, microscopic, and ultrastructural lesions as well as choosing and critically evaluating special diagnostic techniques (IHC/ISH/PCR) and understanding macro-micro correlates.
The Northeast Veterinary Pathology Conference (NEVPC) is scheduled for April 25-26, 2025, at the Smithsonian National Zoological & Conservation Biology Institute in Washington, D.C. This in-person event, sponsored by the Davis-Thompson Foundation, will focus on reproductive pathology and feature keynote speaker Dr. Robert A. Foster from the University of Guelph.
Dive deep into the world of fish health with expert-led sessions on pathology, common diseases, hematology, and emerging infections. Whether you're a trainee, a seasoned veterinary pathologist or a veterinary professional, this seminar offers valuable insights to improve your understanding of fish diseases.
This course is a systems-based review of veterinary pathology including current literature (past 5 years), relevant textbooks, as well as thousands of gross and microscopic images (histopathology and cytology). Attendees will receive over 600 of boards-style multiple-choice questions, both knowledge (literature and textbook based) and image based. Questions are embedded in the presentations via live polling, but attendees will also receive the questions with references in the course materials. This course replaces the previously offered Gross Course and differs from it by the addition microscopic images (histopathology and cytology) and current literature review, to better reflect the current ACVP exam format.
