Cancellation of 2020 Gross Course
by Bruce Williams March 11, 2020

March 11, 2020

Due to the likely unavailability of our planned venue, we regret to notify our registrants, faculty and our colleagues that the Foundation has decided to postpone the 2020 Gross Pathology Review Course. We appreciate that The Ohio State University is acting with abundant caution in the face of the expanding COVID-19 outbreak in the US and we certainly understand their position. The uncertainty surrounding this global event is unfortunate, but we are confident that in retrospect, this will prove to be a prudent decision. The safety and welfare of our participants is our highest priority. For our registrants – we will be processing your full refund starting today. The local course director, Dr. Krista LaPerle, and the course faculty have requested the opportunity to host this course in 2021, and we have already agreed. We understand how important this course is to pathology residents and graduate students studying for certification examinations around the globe. Unfortunately, the opportunity to teach this course online has not presented itself at this time. I am hopeful that the over 150 hours of gross pathology lecture (available on the Foundation YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvGM1s5wysXq-HGLAyZzClQ?view_as=subscriber <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvGM1s5wysXq-HGLAyZzClQ?view_as=subscriber…> ) and the handout material from years’ worth of previous iterations of the Gross Pathology Review Course at: http://www.cldavis.org/syllabi_archives.html <http://www.cldavis.org/syllabi_archives.html?fbclid=IwAR0_GVg7Spl1888D8pxXH…>) will be helpful to you in your study. With sincere regret, Bruce Williams, DVM CEO, Davis-Thompson Foundation

Complete Listing of Confirmed 2020 Foundation Courses (April Courses are a GO!)
by Bruce Williams March 4, 2020

March 4, 2020

Dear Colleagues: Attached please find a complete listing of Foundation meetings attached as a PDF document. At the current time, all of these course listed on these two pages are a “GO". Our current course in Pakistan is in its last day, and our meetings in the first week of April, the 2nd Spanish conference in Lleida, Spain and the Northeast Veterinary Pathology Conference are ON. Rest assured that the Foundation officers are conducting daily review and discussions with speakers and local course directors or our meetings in coming months, and the safety and well-being of our participants is our primary concern. We are currently evaluating a number of criteria that may impact any of our courses, including but not limited to government-issued travel advisories and restrictions for particular areas, emerging patterns of spread of COVID-19, rirline cancellations and other disruptions that will affect travel to and from course destinations, evolving University policies on speaker travel as well as the ability to congregate in a course setting, and any other factor that may impact our ability to conduct a seminar or course. It is our intent on each course to correspond frequently with our participants in order to share any information in days and weeks leading up to all of our courses. This is a unique situation in the history of the Davis-Thompson Foundation, and as a global community, we are all in this together. Sincerely, Bruce Williams, DVM, DACVP CEO Davis- Thompson Foundation

Cancellation of Foundation Courses
by Bruce Williams March 1, 2020

March 1, 2020

After much consideration of the expanding coronavirus outbreak in Europe, Asia and around the globe, and in careful consideration of the safety and welfare of our course participants, the Foundation has decided at this time to postpone four Davis-Thompson Foundation meetings in 2020. The meetings include our Comparative Cytopathology Course (Zagreb 8 May), Diseases of Aquatic Animals (Valencia 16 May), Diseases of Exotic Animals (Moscow 12-14 May), and Microscopic Descriptive Techniques (Beijing, 7-8 July). This is not a decision that we have come to lightly, as we consider the impact of the virus on regional and international travel as well as the potential restrictions that may be placed on exposed individuals upon entry or exit to areas in which the coronavirus has been identified. We believe that none of our registrants are in a position to be quarantined or delayed either abroad or at home, not to mention the possibility of exposure during travel, or in congregation at a Foundation course. The uncertainly surrounding this entire global event is unfortunate, but we are confident that in retrospect, this will prove to be a prudent decision. Please be advised that we are also at this time evaluating our entire slate of 2020 courses as this event unfolds. It is our promise, having already discussed this matter with our speakers and local hosts at these courses that we will reschedule these meetings at the earliest time when it is appropriate to do so. With sincere regret, Bruce Williams, DVM CEO, Davis-Thompson Foundation Francisco Uzal, DVM President C.L. Davis Foundation
