Black Voices in Pathology and FREE CE - this Tuesday!
by Bruce Williams July 26, 2020

July 26, 2020

The Davis-Thompson Foundation wholeheartedly and without reservation supports the Black Lives Matter movement. Since our inception in 1970, our tenets have always included that the Foundation does not discriminate against race. It is all well and good for an organization to issue a statement that says that they support Black Lives Matter, but we in the Foundation believe that now is a time for meaningful change. Our “Black Voices in Pathology” seminar on July 28 is only a first step. Our already diverse Board of Directors currently seats two black veterinary pathologists, Dr. Tiffany Lyle, head of our Correspondence Division and Dr. Lonzy Ojok of the University of Harare. We are adding a third prominent black pathologist, Dr. Angela Brice of the University of Pennsylvania, as a permanent ad hoc member to oversee all of the Foundation’s business from an inclusion and diversity standpoint. We look forward to working closely w ith her, and translating her ideas and input into programs that will better serve all of our members around the world. Beyond this seminar on Black Voices in Pathology, we will be having additional seminars, both day-seminars and our free Friday seminars which will highlight black pathologists and those in other minorities, whose voices are not always heard in our profession. It is our goal that one or more Friday seminars each month will be presented by a black pathologist or member of another minority group. This initiative is not only one that will be important for the Foundation in the United States, but one that we believe will translate well in all corners of the globe where the Foundation educates its members. In order to introduce our “Black Voices in Pathology” to its largest possible audience, we are providing a full day of free RACE CE to attendees. We also hope that our colleagues and friends will share this flyer within their veterinary schools, as this slate of speakers are an inspiring group and we hope many veterinary students will be part of this audience. Register in advance for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_T_i09oihTuW0xEx8vbiPXg <https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_T_i09oihTuW0xEx8vbiPXg?fbclid=I…> After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. Join us on our first steps, spend the day with outstanding pathologists, their experiences and wisdom, and get free CE in the bargain. Thank you for being a part of this movement, and our community.

Tomorrow, Dr. Dennis Wilson, Professor Emeritus of the University of California at Davis will give a lecture on “Animal Models of Respiratory Disease” which wile aimed at Australian pathologists who get out of bed on Saturday mornings, is available to the rest of the world as well (sorry again Europe - you always seem to be in bed for our seminars!). This seminar, which originates in California from 5-7PM (it’s late for me too, but I have to start it up at 8PM) will cover selected airway and parenchymal disease of domestic and laboratory species, including asthma, diffuse alveolar disease, and fibrotic diseases across various species. The lecture will collate cutting edge general pathology with histologic appearances of these various conditions. Dennis Wilson received undergraduate and veterinary medical degrees at the University of Illinois where he also obtained a master’s degree in Environmental Toxicology. After a short period of veterinary practice, he trained in Veterinary Pathology at the University of California-Davis where he received a PhD in Comparative Pathology and ACVP certification in 1982. After joining the faculty at Davis, he developed a research program in environmentally induced cardiopulmonary disease which continued until his retirement in 2015. He was at various times Associate Director for diagnostic services at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Director of the Environmental Pathology Training Program, Chairman of the Graduate Group in Comparative Pathology, Member of the ACVP Anatomic Pathology Examination Committee, and Chairman of the Department of Pathology, . Since entering emeritus status, he is a volunteer at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and consults in lung disease research.
