Level and Prerequisites:
This
basic course will be open to veterinarians
actively interested in the correlation between gross lesions and cytopathology.
It is recommended that veterinary students have previous course experience
with cytology or gross pathology.
VIN CE Course: Open to veterinarians.
This course is approved by RACE for veterinarians. (RACE 22-29048)
Course Information:
Identifying a logical list of differential diagnoses for a gross lesion,
based on general shape, color, texture and location is a key skill for
the practicing clinician. Additionally, clinicians serve their clients
well by efficiently evaluating cytologic preparations to develop a list
of likely differentials prior to submission to a clinical pathologist
to develop an effective treatment plan.
Week 1 (Real Time Session June 13, 2017):
Neoplastic Lesions
Presenters: Britton Grasperge, DVM
Eric Snook, DVM, PhD, DACVP (Anatomic Pathology)
Format: Audio
Objectives: Upon completion of this session, the participant should be able to
- identify common neoplastic lesions and provide an appropriate differential list.
- identify basic cytologic characteristics of cells/structures aspirated from lesions.
- improve accuracy and skills in both gross and cytologic pathology.
Week 2 (Real Time Session June 20, 2017):
Other Lesions

their correlates from the gross examination.
- identify specific non-infectious/non-inflammatory conditions that commonly arise.
- describe specific cytologic criteria for these miscellaneous lesions.
Successful completion (scoring 80% or better) on the end-of-course test is required

About the Presenters:
Eric Snook graduated from Iowa State University College
of Veterinary Medicine in 2002 and practiced in small animal general
practice and emergency in California prior to completing a residency
in pathology at LSU in 2009, and his PhD in biomedical science from
Tulane University in 2013. Currently he is a staff pathologist at Texas
A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (TVMDL) in College Station,
Texas and receives specimens ranging from food animals to small animals
and reptiles and amphibians as part of his daily caseload.
