Job opening, anatomic pathologist Alabama state diagnostic lab (Auburn, AL)
by Jey Koehler Aug. 29, 2023

Aug. 29, 2023

There is an opening for an ACVP-boarded or board-eligible anatomic pathologist at the Thompson-Bishop-Sparks state diagnostic laboratory in Auburn, Alabama. Please find the details in the attached document. This is a wonderful, modern facility with a bunch of great people and an especially outstanding director. If you are interested in 100% diagnostic pathology, this is a fantastic place to work with a varied but not overwhelming caseload. There are opportunities for resident teaching at rounds and even the occasional lecture to vet students if desired, but the position is not a faculty position. I can personally attest that Auburn is a great place to live: a lovely, tree-filled, vibrant, medium-sized university town close to many rivers and hiking and biking trails. It’s about 4 hours to the gorgeous sugar-white beaches of the Florida panhandle and about 4 to the mountains of north Georgia and the Smokies! Public schools here are excellent, and the cost of living is reasonable. There is a performing arts center and a museum, and Atlanta is 1.5 hours away for additional cultural and entertainment opportunities (and the busiest international airport in the US, so travel to anywhere in the world is easy-peasy). The presence of the university creates a more cosmopolitan and international community than is present in some other areas of the state, so stay open-minded when you hear “Alabama”! 😊 Jey W.

From the JPC - upcoming changes in VSPO
by Bruce Williams Aug. 28, 2023

Aug. 28, 2023

From the JPC: We wish to make you aware of an upcoming change to VSPO. As a result of continued evolution of programming languages and the increased familiarity with whole slide images (WSI) by our customer base, effective 31 August 2023 the JPC will discontinue the “hotbox/diagnostic series” feature on the VSPO site. The “hotbox” feature was programmed in HTML v.3.2 (a full decade before the advent of WSI), but is no longer compatible with current programming languages. Disabling this feature means that viewing VSPO entities as unknowns is also discontinued; however, we are exploring means to restore this particular feature with WSI. Whole slide images continue to be available for each entity and can be accessed by using the username “guest” with no password. -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org

by Francisco A. Uzal July 1, 2023

July 1, 2023

Dear colleagues Welcome to the July issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter, with the compliments of Jeann Leal and Javier Asin, our outstanding managing editors. Thank you Jeann and Javier. I want to start this message with a long-due heart-felt thanks to Drs Katherine Watson (Cover Image Editor) and Donald M. McGavin (Cover Image Composition Analyst), who month after month have been doing a fantastic job with the Monthly Cover Photograph Contest. Thank you Kate and Donald!!! And congratulations to Drs Brianne Taylor, Ruth Scimeca and Sarah Myers, winners of this month contest; that is an amazing picture! Another very successful version of the Current Literature and Image Interpretation Course (CLIIC) was just concluded under the expert direction of Dr Linden Craig. Looking forward, please remember that the Current Laboratory Animal Science Seminar (CLASS) and Pathology of Laboratory Animals (POLA) courses come up very soon. Both courses are a must for trainees preparing for board certification. And talking about training opportunities, there are still a few seats available for the hands-on workshop on necropsy of racehorses (August 18-19 in San Bernardino, California). If you are considering attending please register soon while seats last! This month we were extremely fortunate to have another master piece in the series “Things I didn’t learn in the library” by Dr Roger Kelly (University of Queensland); this time on the “Hatchet job”. Look it up in the Expert’s Corner. Thank you Roger. And last but not least, please peruse the whole Newsletter with, as usual, myriad training opportunities for everybody. Looking forward to see you in one of our upcoming training activities. With my warmest regards Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.
