by Bruce Williams Feb. 26, 2021

Feb. 26, 2021

Following the great success of the virtual 2020 conference (rescheduled and held earlier this month), the date for the 2021 meeting is out and it is going to be *bigger, better, and hopefully more global *than ever! The 2021 meeting will be expanded to *2 FULL days* (which means *16 hours of RACE-*accredited CE for the same price of only *$50* - what a deal). This meeting will be focused on *pathology of the GI tract - the tube and pancreas* (no liver - that's another subject in itself for another meeting). Friday will focus on small animal GI, with *UGA Professor of Pathology Jesse Hostetter* giving our Friday Keynote on *Evaluating Endoscopic GI Biopsies* and being our expert commenter for the rest of the day, which will include small animal and non-avian exotic GI cases. On Saturday, Prof Paco Uzal will give a lecture on *large animal GI pathology* and be our commentator for large animal and poultry/avian cases. We now have *20 additional 10-minute slots for presenters *(in addition to those already reserved for our traditional presenters from the Joint Pathology Center, Cornell, UPenn, NCSU, and the National Zoo), and we are looking for presenters from around the world! The language for case presentation is in *English,* and all materials (glass slides and writeups) are due by *August 8th.* This year for the first time, We are also this year taking scanned slides as submissions in the following formats - *Aperio (.svs), Hamamatsu (.vms, .vmu, or .ndpi), Leica (.scn), MIRAX (.mrxs), Philips (.tiff), Sakura (.svslide), Trestle (.tif), Ventana (.bif or .tif), or generic tiled TIFF (.tif) format.* *Presenters will attend at no charge*, and attendees will receive two relaxing, informal and fun days of RACE-accredited CE for the incredibly low price of only $50. If you would like to present a case, these slots will fill up fast, so contact course director *Dr. Sarah Cudd* at skcudddvm(a)gmail.com for details and diamond-hard deadlines. If you would like to participate as a non-presenting attendee, you can register now at: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8EJaPl-rQ-aMEorkEXMhMg <https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8EJaPl-rQ-aMEorkEXMhMg?fbclid=I…> We look forward to seeing you in September!

If you were planning to catch the rebroadcast of tomorrow's CORAL DISEASES seminar, unfortunately, we will be unable to rebroadcast it due to issues involving copyright and intellectual property issues. So the live version will be the only way to see this unique workshop. We regret any inconvenience that this poses, especially for those in difficult time zones. Because of the tremendous demand for this course, we recommend being on time for its broadcast. Bruce Williams, DVM Foundation CFO

2021 Descriptive Veterinary Pathology Course - Live seats going fast!
by Bruce Williams Feb. 20, 2021

Feb. 20, 2021

It's the third jewel in the Foundation's annual "Quadruple Crown" (yes, we are that special that we have a Quadruple Crown) - the Foundation's annual and sometimes several-times-an-annual Descriptive Veterinary Pathology Course. Our world-traveled team of Jey Koehler, Patty Pesavento, and Linden Craig are actually holding their breath until all 100 seats to the live session are filled (see, they are actually turning a bit purple, below) - although you can get access to the rebroadcasted lectures for a lesser price (but not the good bits like the graded exams and breakout sessions and the stuff they whisper under their breath (if they ever take one again!) This multimodal, interactive course is not to be missed! And it only comes around as often as we decide to put it on!

Diseases of Exotic Birds
by Bruce Williams Feb. 18, 2021

Feb. 18, 2021

Spend *Tuesday the 9th of March* with two of our most popular speakers and learn all about the diseases of exotic birds. These are the ones you can't eat (the birds, not the speakers) - you can just look and listen to them. And some of these birds you can talk to. Actually, you could probably talk to all of them I suppose, but some might not talk back because they aren't feeling well, or maybe just because they can't talk. However, our speakers can talk. Boy, can they talk. Please feel free to share this event [image: dayseminarexoticbirds-submitted.jpg] with your colleagues! *Register here:* https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_7Bf0CAqPRDSRbBvlcAYsPw?fbclid=I… *Schedule:* *7AM-11:30AM (Pacific Standard Time - Los Angeles). Dr. Michael Garner. Diseases of passerine and zoo birds* *3PM-5PM (PST). Dr. H.R. Shivaprasad. Diseases of psittacine birds* *Cost $50 USD* This webinar will provide 8 hours of continuing education credit in jurisdictions that recognize RACE approval and it's pre-approved for 4 credits by the ACVP Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Committee.

Gross Path Review Course
by Bruce Williams Feb. 17, 2021

Feb. 17, 2021

Hot on the heels of our wildly successful Gen Path Review Course, comes the second installment - the Gross Path Review Course from 17-21 May. FIVE WHOLE DAYS of nothing but gross pathology.... As this course begins its evolution over the next few years, the pathology faculty of The Ohio State University (and a few visitors), will begin the transition from species-based instruction (the modus operandi of this course for over 40 years), to an all systems-based approach. This year, domestic species get a systems-based review and the non-traditional (laboratory and zoo/wildlife/exotic) will be reviewed on a species-based approach. As we did with Gen Path - all of the didactic lectures will be recorded and available for a period of 3 weeks afterwards, (for a reduced price), but only attendees to the live version can participate in realtime discussions, grill the instructors with their questions, and participate in the mock exam and grading discussion at the end of the course. And of course, participants in the live event have access to rebroadcast materials as well. Additional flyers with speakers and schedules are forthcoming, but let's give this one with course director Krista LaPerle over a field of gastric bots (now I'm all itchy) one more run....the attached PDF has all the info you will need for now and enough to guarantee you a seat....
