The program prepares trainees for certification by the American College of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP), and careers in biomedical research. Program During the first year the postdoctoral fellows gain comprehensive clinical experience in anatomic pathology through gross and microscopic examination of cases from the JHU animal colonies, local veterinary practitioners, the Maryland State Laboratory, the Maryland Zoo and the National Aquarium in Baltimore. A unique feature of this program is a rotation in human pathology. Didactic training consists of weekly lectures and pathology seminars plus peer-mentored boards study, gross and histopathology practice and journal review. In years 2 to 4, trainees participate in full-time mentored basic or translational research in a discipline of their choice. Postdoctoral fellows may pursue a PhD concurrent with their research training, finishing their PhD after completing the pathology fellowship. The first-year trainees receive an annual stipend, currently set at $62,132 Faculty Our faculty includes 10 veterinarians with ACVP and/or ACLAM board certification plus additional PhD faculty. Research interests include virology, parasitology, neuropathology, immunology, cardiovascular disease, proteomics, RNA biology, extracellular vesicles, rodent phenotyping and laboratory animal diseases.

last-minute Foundations of Pathology registration!
by Jey Koehler Sept. 16, 2024

Sept. 16, 2024

OK, a few folks have had extenuating circumstances and we inadvertently failed to add a deadline on the website event so if you wanted to go to Foundations of Pathology but got locked out then today's your lucky day! We will be re-opening registration for Foundations of Pathology in just a little while, and it will close at 12 noon CDT tomorrow. Absolutely no exceptions after that...there is a lot that happens behind-the-scenes after you register and last minute registrations create a lot of extra work for our volunteers. Please remember the following things: 1. You must have a Davis-Thompson Foundation account to register, and you must register using the email you used to make your D-T website account. If you need to use a different email, you need to FIRST log in to your D-T account, click the little person icon in the upper right corner and change the email address associated with your account. This is how the website associates your registration ticket with all the other things related to the course: Canvas access to get lectures and materials, certificates, surveys, etc. 1. Please if at all possible register yourself. If you need to use someone else's credit card to pay that's fine but do not put in their information, put in yours! This makes things so much simpler. Training program supervisors: if you have new residents who may not yet be on this list, please forward and also tell them to follow us on whatever social media platforms they use.

ACVP Professor and Tyler & Frances Young Endowed Chair in Pathology Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine President, Davis-Thompson Foundation www.davisthompsonfoundation.org<http://www.davisthompsonfoundation.org/>
