2020 POLA is now a telecourse!
by Bruce Williams April 27, 2020

April 27, 2020

The 65th Annual Pathology of Lab Animals Course is on, and this year, will be a telecourse! (Now there are no excuses for you NOT to participate). 5 days of lectures on the pathology and diseases of laboratory animals - rodents, non-human primates, laboratory fish, rabbits, minipigs, ferrets, and a mock exam! It's a great way to review classic diseases and get updated on the latest ones! The tuition is half of the in-person 2019 course - only $300 for Foundation individual, university, and corporate members, and $400 for non-members (this comes with a one-year membership in the Foundation). And handouts galore! (Some say this is the best part of the course - with great reference material you will use forever.) This course has been submitted for (but not yet approved) for 32 hours of continuing educations in juridisictions which recongnize RACE. This course has also been pre-approved for credit for ACVP Maintenance of Certification for 2 hours per half-day attended. These lectures will not be posted online following this course, so if you want this fantastic review, you had better clear August 3-7 on your calendar!
