Davis-Thompson Newsletter: June issue
Dear colleagues Welcome to the June issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, with the compliments, as usual, of our outstanding managing editors Javier Asin and Jeann Leal. Please peruse these pages to find information about the many training opportunities around the world, in several languages. While CLIIC is starting next week, keep in mind that POLA is coming soon and registration is still open. We keep working hard in the design of our Foundations of Pathology course. These are the words of President Koehler about it: "We are continuing to work on our newest course, Foundations of Pathology. This course, which we highly recommend for first-year residents, will be similar to the previous Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course but will be aimed at those just beginning their journey. We want to get you off to a great start by sharing with you our accumulated knowledge about how to evaluate, interpret, and describe gross, microscopic, and ultrastructural lesions, plus how to properly interpret IHC, ISH, and molecular testing. We will have discussions about how to structure study during your residency, available resources, and help keep you from making mistakes we have seen people make. We believe this course will create a strong foundation on which you can build, in whatever residency program you are in. The course will include a virtual component and an in-person component at the annual ACVP meeting. A detailed course schedule and registration link will be coming in the next few weeks so check the website frequently!" Also new this year is the "Just in Time Mock Exams", two full days of mock exams dedicated to aspiring veterinary anatomic pathologists, presented by a great team of experienced pathologists. Finally, if you are doing necropsies of racehorses, consider attending the 3-day Racehorse Necropsy Workshop, a hands-on course, this year co-sponsored by the Horse Integrity and Safety Authority, the organization that is regulating horse racing in the US. Looking forward to seeing you in one of our training activities. Warm regards Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

Another great newsletter - evere is doing a fantastic job in every area of the Foundation. The flyers are great - they make it look like all of the courses are taught by an army )but we aren't spending a lot of money! Going to look into moving some of the reserves in coming weeks. The market has been up now for over three months solid, so maybe it's time to expand what we are already invested in. We should talk about this at an upcoming EB meeting. b On Sat, Jun 1, 2024 at 1:01 PM Francisco Alejandro Uzal via Davis_members < davis_members@list.cldavis.org> wrote:

My sincere apologies for sending a private message to the Foundation list - if you missed it, here are the takeaways -
1) I am so proud of what the Foundation is doing - as someone who has been at or near the helm for over thirty years, the amount and global aspect of what the Foundation is doing is better than any time I can remember. 2) People do like to participate in our courses - either as students or volunteer instructors - and its so fantastic to see how many people are taking the opportunity to give back - I wish you could see all the people behind the scenes whose faces aren't on these flyers - it's even more and they are working just as hard. (And by the way, how can YOU help the Foundation?!!! We'd love to hear it.) 3) We are very careful stewards of the Foundation's funds, so that we can continue the great work for many years to come. We are a 'working foundation" - we have no endowments, so whatever we make in donations, course tuition, and the little profit on our publications (we keep them at rock bottom prices) funds our activities around the world. It's a labor of love for all concerned. Thank you for allowing me to correct a simple mistake with an effusive show of appreciation for the Foundation's many volunteers, supporters, and friends - working with the Foundation has been one of my greatest honors and privileges and I truly don't mind if EVERYONE knows! bruce
