Davis-Thompson Foundation March webinar agenda
by Rafaela De Negri March 2, 2021

March 2, 2021

Dear colleague, The March webinar schedule will look a little different! From now on we will hold 2 free Friday webinars per month. We will continue to hold 2 full day webinars per month (on Tuesdays) per usual. Our Spanish, Australian and Brazilian monthly series continues with one webinar per month and in March we are also holding our first Guatemalan webinar (in spanish, 2 days). *Please note:* - Video editing, uploading, certificate delivery, etc; all depend on generous volunteer work of full time pathologists. If you don't see it in 24h, do not worry or message us yet! Our volunteers are likely juggling caseload, research, teaching, meetings and personal life. Please feel free to contact us if you don't see what you need within a week and we will try our best to assist you. - The survey we present to you at the end of every webinar provides us with important feedback data that we use to improve our webinar program. Please take a moment to respond to it. It will benefit you and our professional community. Below you will find the March webinar schedule.

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!
