Dear all Welcome to the December issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, put together by our great managing editors Stephanie Shrader and Javier Asin. Thank you! This issue includes an emotional farewell to Dr Vladislava Rac, who recently stepped down from her post as Treasurer of the Davis-Thompson Foundation after many years of dedicated hard work for the Foundation. You will also see that the Foundation's calendar for the first semester of 2021 is already full with an an amazing variety of educational activities for a most diverse audience, in several different languages (English, Portuguese and Spanish). We are also trying to make at least some of our seminars time-zone friendly for many countries around the world. All our educational offerings come at no cost or low cost and with great CE credits, and are also announced in social media (Facebook, Instagram and YouTube) where you can find details about our seminars and also watch most of our past-seminars. Last but not least, our heartfelt THANK YOU to our speakers and so many people working behind the scenes for the Foundation. The success of the Foundation would not be possible without you!!! Looking forward to seeing you at one or more of our upcoming seminars. Paco Uzal Davis/Thompson Foundation CEO Francisco A. Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

thank you
by Jey Koehler Nov. 20, 2020

Nov. 20, 2020

Thanks to Bruce and Paco for the kind words and to the Board for your confidence in me. I am honored to do this work and will give it my mind, heart, and spirit! In the almost mind-bogglingly complicated modern world in which we find ourselves, it can be a struggle to know what the right thing is to do and how to do it when it comes to helping others. Bureaucracy and internecine politics of various kinds can conspire to thwart our simple desire to give of ourselves to our fellow humans. For me, and I strongly suspect for all of you, the Foundation stands out in stark relief to this by being an organization with a refreshingly clear, straightforward, pure, and noble goal. It is incredible to see the many hours of dedication put in by brilliant, talented, and generous people toward this singular enterprise, with both the "rockstar" lecturing and the abundant behind-the-scenes work being equally critical to our mission. To be able to work with not just a handful but dozens of these extraordinary people is a joy and a humbling privilege. Together, we can and will continue to do the work of disseminating high-quality veterinary pathology teaching to every corner of the globe, expanding our reach every year. Three cheers for the Foundation! Jey Jey W. Koehler, DVM, PhD, DACVP Associate Professor, Department of Pathobiology, College of Veterinary Medicine Coordinator, Anatomic Pathology Residency Program Clinical Liason, Surgical Biopsy Service

We have a new President too!
by Rafaela De Negri Nov. 19, 2020

Nov. 19, 2020

Please join me in welcoming *Dr Jey Koehler*, as the new *President* of the Davis Thompson Foundation. Jey is currently on sabbatical leave and she has agreed to take over as President starting on March 1st, 2021. Until then, Dr. Francisco Uzal will continue to carry on the activities of CEO and President. We are thrilled with Jey’s new appointment. She is a world-renowned pathologist, who has been a member of the faculty of discussants of the Foundation for many years and, most importantly, Jey is and has been for several years, the director of one of the Foundation’s most prestigious courses: the Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course. Under Jey’s leadership, the DVP course reached the outstanding standard it enjoys today. This year, because of COVID, Jey and her team transformed, in record time, the whole DVP course into a fully digital version, which was offered to trainees all over the world. Jey has the knowledge, enthusiasm and commitment, to take the Foundation to the next level. Welcome Jey!! -- Rafaela De Negri, DVM, MSc Veterinary Pathologist/Assistant Professor Murray State University Breathitt Veterinary Center
