Today's guest is Dr. Amy Durham, a Professor of Anatomic Pathology and Associate Dean for Education at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. We sat down for this interview during the 2024 ACVP/ASVCP annual meeting in Seattle, WA, when she was the outgoing Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the ACVP. We discuss how the COO supports the mission of the ACVP, the most significant accomplishments of her tenure, and the transition to the current COO, Dr. Tony Alves. We also learn more about her path in pathology and how she achieved her career goals as a young person. Get ready for a wonderful conversation with Dr. Durham.
