Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter: June
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal June 1, 2025

June 1, 2025

Dear colleagues Welcome to the June issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, with the compliments of our outstanding Managing Editors, Javier Asin and Jeann Leal. Thank you, Javier and Jeann! Please peruse these pages to find a very large number of training opportunities around the world. Just to mention a few, CLIIC is starting next week and Just in Time Mock exams is coming soon. More information about these, and many more training events is available at: https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/events-calendar/ Roger Kelly, University of Queensland, Australia, continues generously sharing his enormous expertise, and this month he sent us another a great article for our Expert's corner on collection and submission of skin specimens for histopathology. Thank you again, Roger!!! Something new this year will be a Latin Comparative Pathology Group (LCPG; the Latin American Division of the DTF) session at the annual meeting of AAVLD, which we hope will become a permanent feature of that meeting. This year, the session will be on screwworm, a disease that is moving north at a fast pace and threatens to enter the US soon. If you are attending the AAVLD meeting, join us for this inaugural great session. And of course, the traditional LCPG session at the annual meeting of ACVP has already been scheduled. And at risk of repeating myself, I am closing my message by thanking our wonderful volunteers from all over the world. As we have said it before: nothing of what we do would be possible without your selfless dedication! Thank you! Warm regards, Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

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.
