Foundations of Pathology: register now!
by Jey Koehler July 8, 2025

July 8, 2025

We are so proud to announce the second installment of this annual course, Foundations of Pathology. This course, which we highly recommend for first-year residents, will be similar in some ways to the previous Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course but will be aimed at those just beginning their journey. Rather than focusing on mock tests, we want to help you build a strong foundation by sharing with you our accumulated knowledge about how to evaluate, interpret, and describe gross, microscopic, and ultrastructural lesions, plus how to properly interpret IHC, ISH, and molecular testing. We will have group discussions about how to structure study during your residency, available resources, and networking. We believe this course will create a strong base of foundational knowledge on which you can build, no matter what kind of training program you are in. The course will include a three full-day virtual component (September 12-14, 8:00-5:00 CDT Friday-Sunday), and a full-day in-person component during the annual ACVP meeting (October 29, 8:00-5:00 CST). Registration fees are the same for virtual-only and virtual + in-person, but tickets for the in-person component are limited to the first 40 registrants due to venue space limitations, and we already have some spaces reserved for last year's registrants who couldn't make the meeting in Seattle. Register early! Remember, member pricing is for those with current paid individual, university, or corporate memberships. Don't know if you're an institutional member? Ask your residency coordinator first to avoid the need for extra work on our end processing refunds. This year the in-person component will be held on Wednesday immediately after the ACVP meeting off-site at Tulane Medical School. Registration for ACVP is not required to attend Foundations of Pathology (but highly encouraged because it will be fun and educational!) We hope to see you there!
