Contributions to education vary greatly to include standard classroom and clinical teaching that primarily takes place in veterinary schools, continuing education of practitioners and technical staff, formal and informal mentoring of students by pathologists in the private sector, committee service to ASVCP and ACVP including board examination preparation, creation of teaching materials such as books and computer programs, and publishing articles relevant to any stage of veterinary medical education. Unfortunately, formal recognition of these contributions is given almost exclusively to pathologists working in academia.
In order to encourage and reward a wider range of ASVCP members contributing to the education of future veterinarians and pathologists, the ASVCP Education Committee and the Executive Board would like to invite our membership to submit nominations for the ASVCP Education Award.
Letters of nomination should describe the nominee's contributions to the education of veterinary medical students, clinical pathology residents, veterinarians, and laboratory professionals. In addition to a brief description (one page or less) of the nominee's accomplishments, the letters should include the contact information for the nominee and a list of 2-3 individuals that can provide additional letters of support.
Please send the letters of nomination to the Education Committee chair, Casey J. LeBlanc (cleblanc@utk.edu) or the Executive Board Education Committee liaison, Jeffrey McCartney (jeffrey.mccartney@crl.com); electronic documents are preferred. Hard copies of letters of nomination can also be sent to Casey or Jeffrey at the addresses below.
Please feel free to contact either Casey or Jeffrey if additional information is needed.

Letters of nomination will be accepted through May 1, 2012. The finalists chosen by the Education Committee will be contacted and asked to submit a short CV, personal statement and a list of references for letters of support. The nominee packets will be accepted through July 1, 2012, and the Education Committee Chair will announce the awardee at the 2012 ASVCP Business Meeting in Seattle, WA. The award includes a plaque and a monetary award of $1,000. Current members of the ASVCP Education Committee and Executive Board will be excluded from nomination for the duration of their service on these committees.
