Dear colleagues,

Welcome to the September issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation with the compliments of our brilliant managing editors, Jeann Leal and Javier

Asin. Thank you Jeann and Javier.

As always, these pages are full of great training opportunities all over the world for trainees and pathologists, face to face and virtual, and in several

languages. And speaking of training opportunities, keep in mind that there are still seats available for our great Foundations of Pathology. This is a must for all trainees starting their program and for pathologists that want to keep up to date with new developments in descriptive pathology. The course includes a three full-day virtual component (September 12-14, 8:00-5:00 CDT Friday- unday), and a full-day in-person component in New Orleans during the annual ACVP meeting (October 29, 8:00-5:00 pm). Bear in mind that if you will not be attending the ACVP meeting this year, you can do the virtual part this year and the in-person part in 2026. Registration closes September 5th.

This month we are proud to present the first part of a great article on the history of the Davis-Thompson Foundation, written by Bruce Williams, our

current CFO, and who is the living memory of the Foundation’s history. Thank you Bruce.

Looking forward to seeing you in one of our training activities.

Warm regards

Paco Uzal
