The Foundation has a new "home"!
by Jey Koehler July 20, 2021

July 20, 2021

Dear Davis-Thompson Foundation members and supporters: As most or all of you know, the Foundation realizes its mission with a team of dedicated and talented volunteers who help us do what we do while also balancing an already-busy life filled with demanding career, family, and outside interests. Volunteers are the lifeblood of the organization, but every once in a while a job comes along that is so big, complex, time-consuming, and outside our skill set that we need to bring in professionals. Today we are announcing the launch of our completely redesigned website, which was brought to life by the talented dream team of punk rock marketers at Malcontent Marketing (www.malcontent.agency<http://www.malcontent.agency>) along with significant efforts from our executive board, our marketing and webinar committee chairs, and our IT director. The new website will serve as our central organizing point for upcoming events and registration, news and information, image banks, diagnostic exercises, membership, and more. Love your social media? Don't worry, we will still have a presence there! Love the pdf newsletter? Don't worry, we'll still be making one! So go to www.davisthompsonfoundation.org<http://www.davisthompsonfoundation.org> and give it a test drive! Check out the events calendar, read about our leadership, and see what's happening. Be patient in these first few weeks as we work out any bugs in functionality and get more and more content added. This website has been a personal dream of mine for a decade now, and I'm so happy to have been a part of making it happen thanks to the strong support of Bruce and Paco, and the talents of the designers. Let us know what you think! Don't forget to check out our bookstore, where in addition to books you can get newly designed t-shirts and mugs https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/product-category/foundation-promotional… Welcome to our new "home"!

CLASS/POLA coming up in less than two weeks! Haven't you put off registering long enough?
by Bruce Williams July 18, 2021

July 18, 2021

The 2021 Current Lab Animal Science Seminar (CLASS) and Pathology of Lab Animals Course is only a few weeks away. Now in its 68th year, the Pathology of Lab Animals Course remains the premier review course for the pathology and diseases of all of the major lab animal species and a few others that are gaining in popularity! If you are training for certification in the specialties of lab animal medicine or pathology, or working in the field - this course is a must. This year's course continues our trend of bringing in new speakers (this year in the area of rodent species) and bringing back many of our well-loved speakers from last year, in order to keep it both fresh and authoritative. Course Director Rob Kim keeps the information flowing for its five-day run, and along the way, attendees of the live version will participate in not one, but two mock exams along the way!. CLASS is now in its 20th year, and fifth with Dr. Sarah Bro, is considered an absolute necessity for those studying for certification in lab animal medicine, covering the important guidelines, protocols and resources for lab animal docs, as well as study tips to help you pass your exam. It's only two days, but two very important days! Registration for the live version gives you access to rebroadcast lectures which begin the week following the course. Tuition for the live version of CLASS and POLA is $350 for non-members (and you get a one-year Foundation membership) and $300 for members. Tuition for POLA only is $300 for non-members (and you get a one year membership blah blah blah as well) and $250 for members Tuition for CLASS only is $100 for non-members (and you get blah blah blah blah) and only $75 for members. Registration for the rebroadcast version of BOTH courses (and that is the only way we are doing it) is $100 for everyone, member or not. Does anyone think I get tired of typing out these announcements? But even if you can only attend the rebroadcast videos (which run for three weeks after the course), it is an AMAZING value and we have been getting rave review for longer than I have been alive (and that's saying something).

Endocrine Pathology: Best Practices and Clinical Correllates - SEATS STILL AVAILABLE!
by Bruce Williams July 5, 2021

July 5, 2021

WHAT?!!! Having a day seminar the day after a long weekend, when we are all swamped? WHAT ARE WE THINKING?!!! Well, here is what we are thinking about - A) People outside the US (we know you are out there, and we are always thinking of you) - you didn't have a holiday weekend, so you have no excuse to miss this! People in the US - by signing up for this course today or anytime tomorrow before it is over - you get 2 weeks of access to the rebroadcast version so you can watch it anytime you want (like when its time to clean the gutters, or go see your in-laws). So everybody WINS (even if you are busy tomorrow!) And you absolutely won't find better speakers on endocrine pathology - Don Meuten and Tom Rosol have been lecturing and teaching endocrine pathology since I was coming up as a resident - and they will be shoveling facts and observations as fast as they can in eight hours - gross, histology, cytology, all correlated with the all-important endocrine testing (and yes, even those have changed radically). Endocrine pathology is something EVERYONE should review for a day every few years - it is a dynamic field and these two speakers keep up! $50US gets you 8 hours of RACE credits, 4 MOC credits from the ACVP. Tomorrow we start at 0800 CDT (that's Chicago time folks)!
