Dear colleagues We are proud to present the August issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter, brilliantly prepared by our outstanding managing editors: Javier Asin and Jeann Leal. Other very successful versions of the Current Laboratory Animal Science Seminar (CLASS) and Pathology of Laboratory Animals (POLA) courses have just finished. With this, we are done for the year with the "4-big-ones": General Pathology, CLIIC, Descriptive Veterinary Pathology and POLA. But the show goes on, and between now and the end of the year, there are myriad training opportunities in person and virtual all over the world, in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Some of these courses and seminars are coming up very soon and have limited seats, so please do not miss the opportunity to register as soon as possible. Look them up in the following pages and/or in our website: https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/events-calendar/ Also, do not miss "Cytology in the postmortem room," another great article by Dr Roger Kelly as part of his series "Things I didn't learn in the library." Thank you Roger. Looking forward to seeing you in one of our upcoming training activities. With my warmest regards Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

This individual will join a group of nine ACVP board-certified pathologists whose goals include providing outstanding diagnostic services (necropsy and biopsy); training anatomic pathology residents and fellows; teaching veterinary students in the preclinical years in the core curriculum, on the necropsy rotation; and advancing the understanding of disease processes through basic and clinical research. The successful candidate will work with the staff of the Anatomic Pathology laboratory <https://www.vet.cornell.edu/animal-health-diagnostic-center/laboratories/an…> in the New York State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (NYSVDL) <https://www.vet.cornell.edu/animal-health-diagnostic-center>, a state-of-the-art diagnostic facility supported by the State of New York. The NYSVDL has capabilities in a wide range of diagnostic modalities housed in 12 dedicated diagnostic sections <https://www.vet.cornell.edu/animal-health-diagnostic-center/laboratories>, including a BSL-3 laboratory, and is accredited by the American Association of Laboratory Diagnosticians (AAVLD). Capabilities in the Anatomic Pathology laboratory include immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, molecular diagnostics, and digital microscopy. The section handles over 9,000 biopsies and 1,600 necropsies per year and is noted for its specialties in dermatopathology, hepatopathology, forensic pathology, and neuropathology.

The Department of Population Medicine and Diagnostic Sciences promotes the health, productivity, and welfare of food- and fiber-producing animals, companion animals, and zoo and wildlife populations, to ensure the safety of foods of animal origin and to prevent animal disease with its associated risks to human health. We build on three major strengths: the population dynamics of health and disease, interaction with production animals and producers, and the laboratory diagnostic sciences. The Animal Health Diagnostic Center provides a rich environment for pathologists, with diagnostic specimens submitted from animal populations world-wide. Candidates must have a DVM or equivalent degree and have completed a three-year residency in veterinary pathology. Board certification in veterinary pathology (ACVP, ECVP) is preferred, but board-eligible individuals are encouraged to apply.

June 1, 2023

Dear colleagues, Welcome to the June issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter, courtesy of our great Managing Editors, Javier Asin and Jean Leal. Thank you, Javier and Jeann. This is a fantastic issue with a large amount of information on training activities and much more. To start with, another very successful version of the 2023 Descriptive Veterinary Pathology Course is coming to an end this week. On the same line, remember that the Current Literature and Image Interpretation Course (CLIIC; formerly "the Gross Course") and the Current Laboratory Animal Science Seminar (CLASS) and Pathology of Laboratory Animals (POLA) courses come up very soon. Both courses are a must for trainees preparing for board certification. A new addition to the 2023 calendar of training activities is a hands-on workshop on necropsy of racehorses, coming up on August 18-19. This course was developed in response to the new rule by the US Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) establishing that all horses that die at a racetrack under the jurisdiction of HISA must undergo a necropsy examination. If you work at a laboratory that receives racehorses for necropsy, this course is for you. Seats are limited; please consider registering soon. Last but not least, this month we are also proud to welcome the Australian Society for Veterinary Pathology (ASVP) corner in our newsletter. In this section, we reproduce a selection of cases from the March 2023 edition of The Scope, the newsletter of the ASVP. We hope you enjoy this great material. Looking forward to see many of you in one of our upcoming training activities. Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.
