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!

participate in a research study on diagnostic challenges!
by Jey Koehler May 19, 2025

May 19, 2025

Hello Foundation members and friends. Dr. Giuseppe Giglia, an Italian board-certified veterinary anatomic pathologist and post-doctoral research fellow at the Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Perugia, Italy is conducting research on the systematic reporting and data analysis of pathology diagnostic findings and causes of death in animals in the context of their regional animal cancer registry. One of his research lines involves examining how diagnostic uncertainty and levels of diagnostic confidence affect reporting practices in veterinary diagnostic pathology. To better understand the challenges faced in this field, his lab has designed a short (10-minute) survey aimed at veterinary pathologists and residents. The survey explores the (patient, sample, and pathologist-related) factors that influence diagnostic confidence and uncertainty in our daily diagnostic practice. The collected data will be analyzed and insights gathered in a scientific publication intended for submission to Veterinary Pathology to share the results and insights of the survey with all the colleagues. These findings and insights on the variables influencing the diagnostic uncertainty in routine veterinary pathology diagnostic practice may help identify areas where further support to pathologists, or resources, or residency training initiatives could be implemented to reduce their impact on the diagnostic uncertainty. All data will be fully anonymized before the data analysis. The requirement to add an email address to send the form is solely to prevent duplicate entries (this will be deleted when checking the dataset for duplicates before analysis). This and other measures are in place to preserve the validity and integrity of the survey results. Additionally, while questions about society or college memberships may appear specific, they serve only to help us relate the sampled population (sample size) with a known denominator. This allows us to assess whether a representative sample has been reached or whether limitations should be kept in mind for the representativeness of the survey on some aspects.
