AAAP Histopathology Interest Group Request for Histology Case Submissions

Deadline: May 4th

Join us for the inaugural AAAP avian histopathology interest group virtual session to be held on Thursday June 1 from 9am-noon EST.  Dr. Luke Borst will serve as keynote speaker with his presentation on “Gross lesions and histopathology of Enterococcus cecorum infection in poultry.” Potential speakers are asked to submit a title or a brief abstract (less than 100 words) of an interesting histology case to Dr. Rob Porter at [email protected]. The submitted presentations will be accepted in order until all slots are filled. The deadline for abstract submission is Thursday May 4. Cases might present a new histological finding, a diagnostic conundrum, or a classical poultry condition. The chosen abstracts can then be presented as either a powerpoint and/or full description of a digitized histology slide. This is a great opportunity for either a pathology resident or the most seasoned diagnostician to present findings. We will encourage selected presenters to download a single digitized slide on the AAAP histology repository by two weeks prior to the virtual meeting.  This will allow all registered participants to view various slides prior to the virtual session. Please keep in mind that sharing a digitized histology slide with your colleagues is encouraged, but not required.

The slide session will be held prior to the AAAP meeting in order to reduce conflict with other committee meetings, allow for broader attendance and to provide ample time for discussion. Field veterinarians are encouraged to attend.
