DTF Newsletter; June issue
by Francisco A. Uzal May 31, 2023

May 31, 2023

Dear colleagues, Welcome to the June issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter, courtesy of our great Managing Editors, Javier Asin and Jean Leal. Thank you, Javier and Jeann. This is a fantastic issue with a large amount of information on training activities and much more. To start with, another very successful version of the 2023 Descriptive Veterinary Pathology Course is coming to an end this week. On the same line, remember that the Current Literature and Image Interpretation Course (CLIIC; formerly "the Gross Course") and the Current Laboratory Animal Science Seminar (CLASS) and Pathology of Laboratory Animals (POLA) courses come up very soon. Both courses are a must for trainees preparing for board certification. A new addition to the 2023 calendar of training activities is a hands-on workshop on necropsy of racehorses, coming up on August 18-19. This course was developed in response to the new rule by the US Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) establishing that all horses that die at a racetrack under the jurisdiction of HISA must undergo a necropsy examination. If you work at a laboratory that receives racehorses for necropsy, this course is for you. Seats are limited; please consider registering soon. Last but not least, this month we are also proud to welcome the Australian Society for Veterinary Pathology (ASVP) corner in our newsletter. In this section, we reproduce a selection of cases from the March 2023 edition of The Scope, the newsletter of the ASVP. We hope you enjoy this great material. Looking forward to see many of you in one of our upcoming training activities. Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

Dear colleagues In the USA, the US Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) established uniform, national rules of racing that include, as of July 1, 2022, a requirement that all horses that die at a racetrack under the jurisdiction of HISA (racetracks that conduct interstate wagering) must undergo a necropsy examination. The Davis Thompson Foundation is offering a hands-on workshop on necropsy of racehorses, on August 18-19. The goals of the examination, essential components of the examination with respect to the etiopathogenesis of racehorse injuries and sudden death, laboratory demonstration of typical racehorse findings, and the standardized HISA necropsy reporting form will be covered in the workshop. The flyer is attached.
