Password for gross final file
by Finnegan, Daniel K MAJ USARMY DHA (USA) May 24, 2021

May 24, 2021

Good Morning, I received a certificate for attending the Gross Review course last week, and it referenced a password to access the pdf of gross images. However, I did not receive an email on Friday with a password (and it's not in spam either). It's possible the military exchange servers filtered it out, but I would be grateful for another send. Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Dan Finnegan Daniel K. Finnegan, DVM, MPH, MSE Major, Veterinary Corps, U.S. Army Veterinary Pathology Resident Joint Pathology Center Office: 301-295-6211 daniel.k.finnegan.mil(a)mail.mil

Musculoskeletal Gross Pathology Question
by Lieske, Danielle May 19, 2021

May 19, 2021

To whom it may concern, Hello and Happy Wednesday! I hoped I reached the appropriate email. Thank you so much for organizing this course! It has been informative! I have a question regarding the Musculoskeletal Gross Pathology section on 5/18. Regarding osteoma and ossifying fibroma. It was mentioned verbally that to tell the difference grossly, it might be best to "play the species game". My reading of JKP indicated horses were most common for both lesions, so I was curious what was meant by the "species game". There have been occasional reports in cats, dogs, and sheep of ossifying fibroma, so is that what was meant? Or perhaps due to ossifying fibromas being in younger horses? Thank you!

Issues with recording
by Host ＠ Davis-Thompson Foundation May 19, 2021

May 19, 2021

Dear instructors, We just want to give everybody a heads-up that some people are receiving error messages when trying to access the recording of the day before. We have contacted Zoom support, who reports this is a worldwide issue and they have to forward to a more complex technical assistance. Most people who reply with the error are logging from an academia Zoom account, so we wonder if it has something to do with it. For now, if you hear/have a similar issue, please ask the person to refer to us so we can set an alternative sharing platform. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience, Davis-Thompson Foundation Webinar Committee

Notes in comments
by Vanessa O. May 17, 2021

May 17, 2021

Good afternoon, I realize it may be a bit too late at this juncture to make this request as I assume most of the lecturers have already prepared their presentations for this course. I also realize that there is a *lot *of information to get through, and the speed at which we're moving is to help ensure we're exposed to a lot of gross images, this being the gross course and all. I do appreciate seeing the same lesion multiple times! However, I am finding it just a little bit frustrating to be told that all of the information I need is in the comments of the powerpoint. I am an auditory learner, and reading is not the most efficient way for me to absorb the information - and the nature of Phase II already demands a *lot *of reading as it is. Is there any way we could spend just a little bit more time hearing about etiologies/pathogenesis/differentials/etc for each disease? Maybe additional gross images could be included at the end of the powerpoint for our reference. Thank you all so much for taking the time to teach us this week! Cheers, Vanessa -- *Vanessa J. Oakes, DVM, MPH* Resident, Anatomic Pathology PhD Candidate Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine *(540)231-6471*
