Voices in Pathology: Asian-Americans - Friday, 28 May 2021
by Bruce Williams April 23, 2021

April 23, 2021

Our free Friday Seminar on the 28th of May is the third in our seminars to highlight the diverse experiences of inspiring minority pathologists - this time focusing on our Asian American colleagues. I can't imagine our field without the amazing and continuing contributions of our Asian American (or simply Asian) colleagues - and their stories are just as amazing. Please take two hours and participate in this seminar - it's a great opportunity to really listen, to learn, and just maybe we can all examine our own conscious and unconscious biases as we relate to those around us. All attendees will receive 2 hours of free RACE credits and a certificate of attendance.

Digital Pathology II - Tuesday April 20 - NO REBROADCAST!
by Bruce Williams April 16, 2021

April 16, 2021

Well, isn't this a pickle? The people who need this the most are likely the ones who likely can't put a reminder for it in their calendar! :D Nonetheless, last year, the first Digital Pathology Day-seminar was a (not very much) surprise hit, so we have brought the speakers back for a second go-round. Unfortunately, as we dig a bit deeper into some of the pharma and "pending publication" topics, we have to forego rebroadcasting on this one, so DON'T MISS OUT! Now here are the not-so-witty learning objectives ( I don't write 'em, I just cut-and-paste 'em): During this seminar, participants will learn: - The key principles in building a nonclinical quality system for Deep Learning AI - An example quality control workflow for Deep Learning AI - An example qualification methodology for Deep Learning AI - Gain understanding of the deep learning methods used in pathology - Learn about the different performance metrics used to evaluate deep learning tissue image analysis solutions Register now! (NO rebroadcast - so don't ping me later asking to see the super-secret recording that we didn't even make...)

The Foundation has a new symbol (and an animation, too!)
by Bruce Williams April 8, 2021

April 8, 2021

As the Foundation has entered the digital age, we have entered with the bold new logo as well! The Foundation’s symbol was created by Samuel Wesley Thompson (in the mid 1970s). The original design was actually a cloth path - maroon in colr, this embroidered patch came with the V device, the snake, the shield, and the bay leaves. The maroon color, the snake and the V were inspired by the emblem of the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps, where Dr. Charlie Louis Davis and Dr. Samuel Wesley Thompson met and spent their careers at. The bay leaves are traditional emblems of healing and the shield represents protection of animal and human health. In the 1990s, a heraldic artist was commissioned to adapt the path to make a crest for the Foundation. The crest went through a few stages of evolution, over the years. First, it received a ribbon on top with the name of the Foundation at that time, the “C.L. Davis DVM Foundation” and a ribbon at the bottom with the Foundation's mission “Advancement of Veterinary Pathology”. In 2015 after the passing of Dr. Thompson and the subsequent change to the Foundation’s name, the top ribbon was changed to “Davis-Thompson DVM Foundation”. But as we advance into the digital age, it is about time for a revamping of our beloved emblem. We hope you like it, and recognize it to be the symbol of excellence wherever you find it. There is also an animated version (I have attached in .MP4 form) which you will now see at the beginning of all of our digital products. Turn on your volume to view it (it's great!).

Exciting news from the Davis-Thompson Foundation
by Bruce Williams March 31, 2021

March 31, 2021

Mind if a take a moment to share some exciting news that we are all very proud of here in the Foundation? A decade ago, the Latin Comparative Pathology Group, in partnership with the Foundation, began publishing its Diagnostic Exercises. First monthly, now twice monthly, young pathologists around the globe have published their cases online ( http://www.cldavis.org/diag_exercise.html ). Over the years, our DE committee and its senior editors, Vini Carreira and Claudio Barros have put in hours and hours of effort to maximize the educational potential of these outstanding case reports. This month, we begin a partnership with the Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology, and I will let them explain (by way of an editorial in this month's issue - - https://bjvp.org.br/bjvp-archive/2021/03/vol-14-n-1-march-2021/. "*Diagnostic exercises of the Latin Comparative Pathology Group (Latin American Division of the Davis-Thompson Foundation) being published in the Brazilian Journal of Comparative Pathology* *It is a great honor for the Latin Comparative Pathology Group (LCPG; the Latin American subdivision of the Davis-Thompson Foundation), to begin publishing our already famous diagnostic exercises in the Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology (BJVP).* *The diagnostic exercises of the LCPG were created more than 10 years ago, with the objective of sharing interesting pathology cases with the scientific community and to provide educational material for trainees. These cases generated great enthusiasm amongst students and veterinarians around the world, and over the years, more than 160 exercises have been distributed regularly by e-mail and published on line in the Davis Thompson Foundation and the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians web pages. * *Now, in a joint effort between the LCPG and the BJVP, three selected diagnostic exercises submitted to the LCPG will be published in each issue of the journal. We hope that this way, our diagnostic exercises will reach a broader readership throughout the globe. * *We hope that you enjoy our diagnostic exercises whether you read them on the web or in the BJVP.* *These exercises may be contributed by members and non-members of the LCPG from any country of residence. Please consider putting your interesting case in the form of a diagnostic exercise and submit it to the LCPG. It does not have to be something unusual and all sub-specialties of pathology are welcome! Contact the Editor in Chief, Dr Claudio Barros (e-mail…..), for instructions on how to prepare and share your diagnostic exercise. * *Paola A. Barato, President Latin Comparative Pathology Group. * *Francisco R. Carvallo, President-elect Latin Comparative Pathology Group. * *Claudio S. Barros, Editor-in-chief, Latin Comparative Pathology Group diagnostic exercises. * *Francisco A Uzal, Chief Executive Officer, Davis-Thompson Foundation"* So look for the Diagnostic Exercises in every edition of the Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology - and please consider submitting your own case reports as Diagnostic Exercises!
