by Bruce Williams March 1, 2021

March 1, 2021

If you were thinking of viewing the rebroadcast version of this year's* Gen Path Review Course*, *we will be closing this course to new registrations on 7 Mar. The final day that materials are available for viewing is March 21* (also the last day of the ACVP Phase 1 exam), and then the material from this course is no longer available. Due to the sheer volume of material, *we believe that a minimum of two weeks* is required to view it (and review the associated handouts), and we don't want anyone to be rushed or feel cheated - so if you haven't signed up to view the course online but 7 March, don't worry - we are already planning for the (continually updated) *2022 Gen Path Review Course*. If you would like to sign up, simply visit: https://davisthompsonfoundation.regfox.com/genpath2021 and sign up!

Job Opportunity in the UK - Zoo, Wildlife, and Aquatic Pathologist
by Bruce Williams March 1, 2021

March 1, 2021

*Assistant Veterinary Pathologist: Aquatic, Zoo and Wildlife Species* *International Zoo Veterinary Group Pathology* *Keighley, United Kingdom* The International Zoo Veterinary Group (IZVG) was founded in 1976 and is the largest freelance zoo medicine practice in the world, working exclusively with non-domestic species. IZVG Pathology was established in 2003 and provides dedicated anatomic pathology services for the practice’s zoo, aquarium and wildlife conservation work. IZVG Pathology works from our own fully equipped post-mortem facility and histology laboratory situated within IZVG’s main building in Keighley, West Yorkshire. Keighley is on the edge of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales and within easy travelling distance of the Lake District, and close to the larger cities of Leeds and Bradford in the United Kingdom. *The role: *Working alongside our existing principal veterinary pathologist, who will be your direct line manager, with two histology technicians, and supported by zoological medicine clinical specialists, you will take immediate responsibility for a caseload that comprises significant numbers of marine aquarium fish, non-domestic mammalian (particularly primate), avian, and lower vertebrate species, as well as invertebrates. Diagnostic histopathology will be a major part of your daily work, for IZVG’s own clients and for external clients including veterinary surgeons and referral laboratories. Necropsy examinations are also a frequent and irreplaceable feature of our work, occasionally necessitating travel off-site. A network of external collaborators enables us to source additional diagnostic testing as necessary. Opportunities exist for input into conservation projects in association with field biologists and vets, and to publish and present your work nationally and internationally. *The person:* MRCVS (or immediate eligibility) and a postgraduate qualification in Veterinary Pathology are essential (FRCPath, DipACVP, DipECVP or equivalent), as are robust diagnostic and communication skills. We are particularly seeking experience and enthusiasm for fish pathology, and experience with other non-domestic animal pathology would also be an advantage. Whatever your prior experience you will be expected to demonstrate a genuine interest and enthusiasm for aquatic species pathology and a willingness to develop relevant expertise rapidly. You will have a commitment to providing the best quality diagnostic service to our clients. Experience of research methods and a track record of publication would also be desirable. *Remuneration:* The post carries a competitive salary along with additional benefits including medical insurance. Relevant CPD is encouraged and funded and there are considerable in-house training resources. *Contact:* Informal enquiries are welcomed to the Principal Veterinary Pathologist Dr Mark Stidworthy by email (M.Stidworthy(a)izvg.co.uk) or telephone (= 44 (0)1535 692000 (laboratory) or +44 (0)7771 567506 (mobile)). More information and application form at: http://www.izvg.co.uk/izvgnews.html Applications, including a letter briefly outlining past experience and future goals, a curriculum vitae, and a completed application form should be sent to: finance(a)izvg.co.uk, before 9 am on Monday March 15th 2021. The post is available immediately and applications will continue to be reviewed until a suitable applicant is found.
