Call for Abstracts

The Australian Society for Veterinary Pathology invites members to actively participate in the 2025 Conference program by the submission of a member presentation. Member presentations held throughout the conference are the backbone of our annual conference and are a visible representation of the broad spectrum of endeavours our members undertake.

The health and vitality of veterinary pathology comes from opportunities such as this conference and allows members with a passionate interest in veterinary pathology to share their knowledge and experiences with each other. It is a particularly valuable opportunity for trainee veterinary pathologists to present their findings in front of a professional audience.

It is preferred that abstracts relate this year's theme of the Haematolymphoid System, however, it is not essential and all abstracts will be considered.

We look forward to receiving abstracts from members, and those they mentor.

Please note that the deadline for the receipt of abstracts is no later than May 5, 2025.

All submissions must be in accordance with the following specifications to be considered. Guidelines that are not submitted in accordance with these specifications will be excluded from the review process:
