CLARIFICATION: The JPC;s WSC is NOT being discontinued, just associated RACE credits and self-assessments
by Bruce Williams Aug. 7, 2024

Aug. 7, 2024

JUST TO BE CLEAR - the JPC's WSC is NOT being discontinued. The WSC, now in its 71st year, will begin its 2024-2025 conference in a week and as always, we look forward to it. Since 2017, self-assessments and free RACE credits have been offered to participants. While utilization of this offering was very high during the pandemic, since the return of in-person courses and many additional online CE seminars from various organizations, the number of folks using the WSC for CE has dwindled to the low single digits, so self-assessments and RACE CE is no longer being offered. THE WEDNESDAY SLIDE CONFERENCE ITSELF IS IN NO DANGER!!! (Make sure to check the website at the end of next week for Week 1 results.) Bruce Williams Senior Pathology, Veterinary Pathology Service JPC
