Today’s guest is Dr. Derron (Tony) Alves, ACVP’s Chief Operating Officer (or COO)! We sat down with him at the 2024 ACVP/ASVCP Annual Meeting in Seattle, WA, to discuss his journey in veterinary medicine, government, and pathology, his plans as the incoming ACVP COO, theory around volunteering, tips for junior colleagues, and why we need veterinary pathologists. You’ll also never guess which microscopic lesion mesmerizes him. Pathology is fun during our conversation with Dr. Alves!
