Hey guys! I come seeking advice and opinions from my fellow vet students!
Here at UF we have a Pathology Club, but it is very young and very small. Literally, I think there might be 15 members total, the vast majority of whom are freshmen.
We are trying to take the club in a direction that will garner more membership, i.e. making pathology friendly for everyone (not just us path geeks.)
Basically, my question is- what types of meetings, activities and/or wetlabs do you have in the Path Club at your vet school? What gets the greatest response?
Obviously, we hold the occasional necropsy lab, but other than that, the club does virtually nothing. I was just elected to office and I and my fellow officers want to change that! We had one meeting in the fall with a case presentation and one meeting just recently with a "panel" of seniors answering questions about getting into a path residency. Not terribly non-path-geek friendly.
I was thinking of maybe a trip behind-the-scenes at Disney's Animal Kingdom (their pathologist is one of our profs), but that wouldn't accommodate a very large group. Also, maybe something fun with parasites. Of course, it's hard for me to see outside my path box because it's what I love!
Ideas??
Thanks so much!
