The Current Literature and Image Interpretation Course (CLIIC) 2026 is an intensive, systems-based review designed for veterinary pathology residents and practicing pathologists who want to strengthen diagnostic reasoning and stay current with the literature.

This immersive course integrates key textbook concepts, recent veterinary pathology research from the past five years, and extensive image-based learning reflecting the modern ACVP board exam format. Participants will review gross, histopathology, and cytology images and work through 600+ board-style questions, with interactive polling incorporated into lectures for real-time knowledge checks.

CLIIC replaces the previously offered Gross Course and expands the format to include histopathology, cytology, and contemporary literature review to better align with current board exam expectations.
