Lectures (FOR RE-BROADCASTED COURSE)

July 31 and August 1 the Davis-Thompson Foundation presents the CLASS course, focusing on preparing for the ACLAM exam, USDA and PHS regulations, and the NRC and Ag guides.
Right after CLASS on August 2-6 is the famous Pathology of Laboratory Animals course, chock full of pathology of mice, rats, non-human primates, rabbits, ferrets, and mini-pigs.

This year, because of ongoing uncertainty related to the pandemic, we are once again offering the course as a virtual course, in both a live version and a rebroadcast one.

A limited number of need-based tuition reimbursements will be offered; for details on how to apply for these please email the course director Dr. Robert Kim (robert.k.kim2.mil@mail.mil).

We now have 20 additional 10-minute slots for presenters (in addition to those already reserved for our traditional presenters from the Joint Pathology Center, Cornell, UPenn, NCSU, and the National Zoo), and we are looking for presenters from around the world! The language for case presentation is in English, and all materials (glass slides and writeups) are due by August 8th.

This year for the first time, We are also this year taking scanned slides as submissions in the following formats - Aperio (.svs), Hamamatsu (.vms, .vmu, or .ndpi), Leica (.scn), MIRAX (.mrxs), Philips (.tiff), Sakura (.svslide), Trestle (.tif), Ventana (.bif or .tif), or generic tiled TIFF (.tif) format.

Presenters will attend at no charge, and attendees will receive two relaxing, informal and fun days of RACE-accredited CE for the incredibly low price of only $50.

If you would like to present a case, these slots will fill up fast, so contact course director Dr. Sarah Cudd at skcudddvm@gmail.com for details and diamond-hard deadlines. If you would like to participate as a non-presenting attendee, you can register now at: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8EJaPl-rQ-aMEorkEXMhMg
