| Duration: 1 day(s) |
| Location: San Antonio Rivercenter Hotel
San Antonio, TX |
Description:
The workshop will be divided into two sections: Epithelial Tumors of the Skin and Tumors of the Mammary Gland. The presentations will emphasize material from Volumes 1 and 2 of Surgical Pathology of Tumors of Domestic Animals, published by the Davis-Thompson DVM Foundation. The presentation on Skin Tumors will be focused specifically on more challenging diagnoses, and include distinctive histologic features of neoplastic and non-neoplastic epithelial "tumors" of the skin, differential diagnosis and clinically important information. A majority of the session will be comprised of presentations on Mammary Tumors. This discussion will emphasize those criteria that are important in establishing a definitive diagnosis, including criteria of malignancy and grading of mammary tumors. Diseases of the teat will focus on neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases that may be encountered in veterinary diagnostic pathology. Finally, difficult cases will be discussed; attendees will have an opportunity to review these cases before the workshop. |
Special Instructions:
Registration will be through ACVP: https://www.acvp.org/page/2019_Pre_Meeting_Workshops |

Description:
Join us for an intensive course covering topics in general pathology! The course will cover information included in the Phase I portion of the certifying examination. Your instructors are all experienced trainers who will focus on material derived from the texts, and they will also include relevant and recent advances in general pathology. The material will be integrated with cases and mechanisms of disease in breakout sessions that are designed to reinforce information through practical and diagnostic applications of general pathology knowledge. Those enrolled will receive a study guide and study questions prior to the course, as well as a reference list of key important and/or recent articles (chosen by each of the faculty). All enrolled will have the opportunity to take a practice exam that will be graded and returned to each candidate.
Coverage of major topics are:
Cellular responses to injury
Hemodynamics
Inflammation and Repair
Immunity and Hypersensitivity
Neoplasia
Toxicologic Pathology
Microbial mechanisms of disease
