Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter: November issue
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal Nov. 2, 2023

Nov. 2, 2023

Dear colleagues Please find attached the November issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, with the compliments of our great managing editors, Jeann Leal and Javier Asin. Please peruse these pages to find great information about our virtual and face to face activities in many countries of the world. As usual, we have training activities in English, Portuguese and Spanish. The annual ACVP meeting just concluded. Amongst the several activities of the Foundation during the congress, we organized the pre-meeting workshop "Tumors of the Urogenital System: No Kidneying, Ovary-reacting, or Testifying!". The workshop was a resounding success with a room overflowing with attendees that, together with the fantastic speakers, made for a very instructive and interactive session. Also look up the report on our traditional Award Ceremony, when residents and our beloved volunteers were recognized. Finally, this year, the annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the DTF was held at the headquarters of the Foundation in Gurnee, less than an hour from Chicago. Looking forward to seeing you in one of our upcoming seminars! Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.
