April 19, 2021

Look at that lineup! Look at that flyer! Look at your calendar! Look at our registration page and type in your info! It's that time of year - the Foundation's annual Gross Path Review Course is back again, with something new at every turn. As the course evolves from species- to system based lectures, this year the domestic species will be taught on a system-by-system basis and lab animal and NEWZ are taught in their own species-based lectures. (Next year - it's ALL systems-based). Five days, nary a single histo picture in the thousands you will encounter! You can register for the live version and interact with other participants and faculty from 17-21 May, or sign up for the rebroadcast (from 1-21 June) and do it on your own time, in your own time zone. (If you sign up for the live version, you get the rebroadcast links as well!) Who needs to travel - enjoy this great course from your home or office! See you there!

Digital Pathology II - Tuesday April 20 - NO REBROADCAST!
by Bruce Williams April 16, 2021

April 16, 2021

Well, isn't this a pickle? The people who need this the most are likely the ones who likely can't put a reminder for it in their calendar! :D Nonetheless, last year, the first Digital Pathology Day-seminar was a (not very much) surprise hit, so we have brought the speakers back for a second go-round. Unfortunately, as we dig a bit deeper into some of the pharma and "pending publication" topics, we have to forego rebroadcasting on this one, so DON'T MISS OUT! Now here are the not-so-witty learning objectives ( I don't write 'em, I just cut-and-paste 'em): During this seminar, participants will learn: - The key principles in building a nonclinical quality system for Deep Learning AI - An example quality control workflow for Deep Learning AI - An example qualification methodology for Deep Learning AI - Gain understanding of the deep learning methods used in pathology - Learn about the different performance metrics used to evaluate deep learning tissue image analysis solutions Register now! (NO rebroadcast - so don't ping me later asking to see the super-secret recording that we didn't even make...)

The Foundation has a new symbol (and an animation, too!)
by Bruce Williams April 8, 2021

April 8, 2021

As the Foundation has entered the digital age, we have entered with the bold new logo as well! The Foundation’s symbol was created by Samuel Wesley Thompson (in the mid 1970s). The original design was actually a cloth path - maroon in colr, this embroidered patch came with the V device, the snake, the shield, and the bay leaves. The maroon color, the snake and the V were inspired by the emblem of the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps, where Dr. Charlie Louis Davis and Dr. Samuel Wesley Thompson met and spent their careers at. The bay leaves are traditional emblems of healing and the shield represents protection of animal and human health. In the 1990s, a heraldic artist was commissioned to adapt the path to make a crest for the Foundation. The crest went through a few stages of evolution, over the years. First, it received a ribbon on top with the name of the Foundation at that time, the “C.L. Davis DVM Foundation” and a ribbon at the bottom with the Foundation's mission “Advancement of Veterinary Pathology”. In 2015 after the passing of Dr. Thompson and the subsequent change to the Foundation’s name, the top ribbon was changed to “Davis-Thompson DVM Foundation”. But as we advance into the digital age, it is about time for a revamping of our beloved emblem. We hope you like it, and recognize it to be the symbol of excellence wherever you find it. There is also an animated version (I have attached in .MP4 form) which you will now see at the beginning of all of our digital products. Turn on your volume to view it (it's great!).
