We choose the topics for the next year and we invited one or more experts in their field. Additional information about us and our activities can be found on our web page: http://www.zdruzenje-szvmz.si/, which still exists only in Slovene language. We plane to translate it into English because of potential participants from neighbouring countries like Italy and Austria (“Alpe-adria region”). We started our active collaboration in 2007, organizing the 1st Alpe-Adria Diagnostic Cytology Symposium. 17 – 18 of March 2006: XIX.

The 10-hour symposium will utilize lectures, video microscopy, and individual microscopes to illustrate general principles of cytologic interpretation, recognition of various preparation artefacts and the interpretation of a wide array of specimens including inflammatory and neoplastic lesions. In a 2-hour wetlab the participants will review and practice different Collection Techniques, Smear Preparation Techniques and Cytologic Staining Techniques. The lectures are held in English.

WSAVA CE program In 2001, the Slovene Small Animal Veterinary Association (SSAVA) began to organize WSAVA CE meetings in cooperation with CSAVS (Croatian Small Animal Veterinary Section, by Croatian Veterinary Chamber). Annual meetings were organised either in Croatia or in Slovenia and different speakers from different countries were invited according to the topic of choice. In thisnpast year (2006) we did not organize any WSAVA CE meetings because CSAVS was the host of European FECAVA congress at the beginning of the year 2007. 28 of October 2007: Oncology Invited speaker: Miriam Kleiter 8 hours of lectures Best regards President of SSAVA and WSAVA representative Natasa Tozon, DVM, M.Sc., Ph.D.
