2021 Descriptive Veterinary Pathology Course - Live seats going fast!
by Bruce Williams Feb. 20, 2021

Feb. 20, 2021

It's the third jewel in the Foundation's annual "Quadruple Crown" (yes, we are that special that we have a Quadruple Crown) - the Foundation's annual and sometimes several-times-an-annual Descriptive Veterinary Pathology Course. Our world-traveled team of Jey Koehler, Patty Pesavento, and Linden Craig are actually holding their breath until all 100 seats to the live session are filled (see, they are actually turning a bit purple, below) - although you can get access to the rebroadcasted lectures for a lesser price (but not the good bits like the graded exams and breakout sessions and the stuff they whisper under their breath (if they ever take one again!) This multimodal, interactive course is not to be missed! And it only comes around as often as we decide to put it on!

Diseases of Exotic Birds
by Bruce Williams Feb. 18, 2021

Feb. 18, 2021

Spend *Tuesday the 9th of March* with two of our most popular speakers and learn all about the diseases of exotic birds. These are the ones you can't eat (the birds, not the speakers) - you can just look and listen to them. And some of these birds you can talk to. Actually, you could probably talk to all of them I suppose, but some might not talk back because they aren't feeling well, or maybe just because they can't talk. However, our speakers can talk. Boy, can they talk. Please feel free to share this event [image: dayseminarexoticbirds-submitted.jpg] with your colleagues! *Register here:* https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_7Bf0CAqPRDSRbBvlcAYsPw?fbclid=I… *Schedule:* *7AM-11:30AM (Pacific Standard Time - Los Angeles). Dr. Michael Garner. Diseases of passerine and zoo birds* *3PM-5PM (PST). Dr. H.R. Shivaprasad. Diseases of psittacine birds* *Cost $50 USD* This webinar will provide 8 hours of continuing education credit in jurisdictions that recognize RACE approval and it's pre-approved for 4 credits by the ACVP Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Committee.

Gross Path Review Course
by Bruce Williams Feb. 17, 2021

Feb. 17, 2021

Hot on the heels of our wildly successful Gen Path Review Course, comes the second installment - the Gross Path Review Course from 17-21 May. FIVE WHOLE DAYS of nothing but gross pathology.... As this course begins its evolution over the next few years, the pathology faculty of The Ohio State University (and a few visitors), will begin the transition from species-based instruction (the modus operandi of this course for over 40 years), to an all systems-based approach. This year, domestic species get a systems-based review and the non-traditional (laboratory and zoo/wildlife/exotic) will be reviewed on a species-based approach. As we did with Gen Path - all of the didactic lectures will be recorded and available for a period of 3 weeks afterwards, (for a reduced price), but only attendees to the live version can participate in realtime discussions, grill the instructors with their questions, and participate in the mock exam and grading discussion at the end of the course. And of course, participants in the live event have access to rebroadcast materials as well. Additional flyers with speakers and schedules are forthcoming, but let's give this one with course director Krista LaPerle over a field of gastric bots (now I'm all itchy) one more run....the attached PDF has all the info you will need for now and enough to guarantee you a seat....
