For everyone who couldn't get a seat at our upcoming webinar...
by Bruce Williams March 27, 2020

March 27, 2020

To all of the many very interested parties who were unable to get a seat in our upcoming webinar on "Updates of Clostridial Disease".... This webinar filled to overflow in approximately 20 mins. (I do hope that everyone who snagged a seat plans on showing up or you have stolen a seat from someone who really wanted one.) For those of you who couldn't get a seat - not to worry, as the webinar will be pre-recorded and uploaded to the Foundation YouTube channel concurrently. For those of you who wonder why the Foundation doesn't have more seats available... a) We are pre-recording it and it will be available to everyone at no charge (didn't I just say that?) b) The 30 minutes of Q and A at the end would be absolute CHAOS with more than 100 people. c) With literally over TWO HOURS of experience in tele-education, we are learning this as we go along. We have no tele-education budget, we are handing out course refunds like hotcakes, and right about now we are the only vet path organization that is offering anything telewhatever. So we ask that you are patient as we adjust to a rapidly changing paradigm. If we find that limiting live seats to these webinars is a serious mistake, I promise we will fix that going forward.

March 20, 2020

Dear all As you probably saw over the past few days, your Foundation keeps busy posting flyers for courses and seminars. These courses were planned before the COVID-19 outbreak, and while there is a chance that we may still have to postpone them to a later date, we wanted to make sure that everybody knows about them. Also, when possible we are working on virtual backup options, like in the case of the upcoming Descriptive Pathology course (in-person version still ON, but our faculty is working hard on a virtual version in case it has to be cancelled).

Additional course cancellations
by Bruce Williams March 12, 2020

March 12, 2020

We regret to inform our participants and colleagues of cancellation of two of our early April meetings for 2020. After careful consideration of the expanding coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. and around the globe, travel restrictions now imposed of many of our attendees and presenters, and most importantly, the safety and welfare of our course participants, the Foundation has decided to postpone the Northeast Veterinary Pathology Conference in Silver Spring, MD, as well as the 2nd Spanish Seminar on Swine and Ruminants in Lleida Spain. It is our promise, having already discussed this matter with our co-sponsors, the Joint Pathology Center and MAJ Sarah Cudd, our local host for the NEVPC, and Drs Simon Priestnall, Alejandro Suarez-Bonnet, and our local host, Dr. Gustavo Ramirez, (for the Lleida meeting ) that we will reschedule both meetings at the earliest time when it is appropriate to do so. Refunds have already been processed for tuition for all registrants for the Lleida symposium. With sincere regret, Bruce Williams, DVM CEO, Davis-Thompson Foundation

Cancellation of 2020 Gross Course
by Bruce Williams March 11, 2020

March 11, 2020

Due to the likely unavailability of our planned venue, we regret to notify our registrants, faculty and our colleagues that the Foundation has decided to postpone the 2020 Gross Pathology Review Course. We appreciate that The Ohio State University is acting with abundant caution in the face of the expanding COVID-19 outbreak in the US and we certainly understand their position. The uncertainty surrounding this global event is unfortunate, but we are confident that in retrospect, this will prove to be a prudent decision. The safety and welfare of our participants is our highest priority. For our registrants – we will be processing your full refund starting today. The local course director, Dr. Krista LaPerle, and the course faculty have requested the opportunity to host this course in 2021, and we have already agreed. We understand how important this course is to pathology residents and graduate students studying for certification examinations around the globe. Unfortunately, the opportunity to teach this course online has not presented itself at this time. I am hopeful that the over 150 hours of gross pathology lecture (available on the Foundation YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvGM1s5wysXq-HGLAyZzClQ?view_as=subscriber <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvGM1s5wysXq-HGLAyZzClQ?view_as=subscriber…> ) and the handout material from years’ worth of previous iterations of the Gross Pathology Review Course at: http://www.cldavis.org/syllabi_archives.html <http://www.cldavis.org/syllabi_archives.html?fbclid=IwAR0_GVg7Spl1888D8pxXH…>) will be helpful to you in your study.

Complete Listing of Confirmed 2020 Foundation Courses (April Courses are a GO!)
by Bruce Williams March 4, 2020

March 4, 2020

Dear Colleagues: Attached please find a complete listing of Foundation meetings attached as a PDF document. At the current time, all of these course listed on these two pages are a “GO". Our current course in Pakistan is in its last day, and our meetings in the first week of April, the 2nd Spanish conference in Lleida, Spain and the Northeast Veterinary Pathology Conference are ON. Rest assured that the Foundation officers are conducting daily review and discussions with speakers and local course directors or our meetings in coming months, and the safety and well-being of our participants is our primary concern. We are currently evaluating a number of criteria that may impact any of our courses, including but not limited to government-issued travel advisories and restrictions for particular areas, emerging patterns of spread of COVID-19, rirline cancellations and other disruptions that will affect travel to and from course destinations, evolving University policies on speaker travel as well as the ability to congregate in a course setting, and any other factor that may impact our ability to conduct a seminar or course. It is our intent on each course to correspond frequently with our participants in order to share any information in days and weeks leading up to all of our courses. This is a unique situation in the history of the Davis-Thompson Foundation, and as a global community, we are all in this together. Sincerely, Bruce Williams, DVM, DACVP CEO Davis- Thompson Foundation

Cancellation of Foundation Courses
by Bruce Williams March 1, 2020

March 1, 2020

After much consideration of the expanding coronavirus outbreak in Europe, Asia and around the globe, and in careful consideration of the safety and welfare of our course participants, the Foundation has decided at this time to postpone four Davis-Thompson Foundation meetings in 2020. The meetings include our Comparative Cytopathology Course (Zagreb 8 May), Diseases of Aquatic Animals (Valencia 16 May), Diseases of Exotic Animals (Moscow 12-14 May), and Microscopic Descriptive Techniques (Beijing, 7-8 July). This is not a decision that we have come to lightly, as we consider the impact of the virus on regional and international travel as well as the potential restrictions that may be placed on exposed individuals upon entry or exit to areas in which the coronavirus has been identified. We believe that none of our registrants are in a position to be quarantined or delayed either abroad or at home, not to mention the possibility of exposure during travel, or in congregation at a Foundation course. The uncertainly surrounding this entire global event is unfortunate, but we are confident that in retrospect, this will prove to be a prudent decision. Please be advised that we are also at this time evaluating our entire slate of 2020 courses as this event unfolds. It is our promise, having already discussed this matter with our speakers and local hosts at these courses that we will reschedule these meetings at the earliest time when it is appropriate to do so. With sincere regret, Bruce Williams, DVM CEO, Davis-Thompson Foundation Francisco Uzal, DVM President C.L. Davis Foundation
