Lectures will be presented on the Zoom platform, gross and microscopic exams will be graded with personal feedback as in all iterations of this course, and virtual slides will be utilized in place of glass slides.

Tuition for this course is $350 for individual, university, or corporate Foundation members, and $450 for non-members (which includes a one-year Foundation membership.)

DTF Seminar flyers going out......
by Francisco Uzal March 20, 2020

March 20, 2020

Dear all As you probably saw over the past few days, your Foundation keeps busy posting flyers for courses and seminars. These courses were planned before the COVID-19 outbreak, and while there is a chance that we may still have to postpone them to a later date, we wanted to make sure that everybody knows about them. Also, when possible we are working on virtual backup options, like in the case of the upcoming Descriptive Pathology course (in-person version still ON, but our faculty is working hard on a virtual version in case it has to be cancelled). Thank you for your continuous support. Bruce Williams and Paco Uzal

Additional course cancellations
by Bruce Williams March 12, 2020

March 12, 2020

We regret to inform our participants and colleagues of cancellation of two of our early April meetings for 2020. After careful consideration of the expanding coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. and around the globe, travel restrictions now imposed of many of our attendees and presenters, and most importantly, the safety and welfare of our course participants, the Foundation has decided to postpone the Northeast Veterinary Pathology Conference in Silver Spring, MD, as well as the 2nd Spanish Seminar on Swine and Ruminants in Lleida Spain. It is our promise, having already discussed this matter with our co-sponsors, the Joint Pathology Center and MAJ Sarah Cudd, our local host for the NEVPC, and Drs Simon Priestnall, Alejandro Suarez-Bonnet, and our local host, Dr. Gustavo Ramirez, (for the Lleida meeting ) that we will reschedule both meetings at the earliest time when it is appropriate to do so. Refunds have already been processed for tuition for all registrants for the Lleida symposium. With sincere regret, Bruce Williams, DVM CEO, Davis-Thompson Foundation
