| Want to test your diagnostic skills? Got a case you can't figure out? Want more practice for ACLAM board preparation? This feature is for you.
Cases featuring classic, unusual, or perplexing conditions in laboratory animal medicine species will be featured. At the time of posting a new case, the diagnosis for the previous case will be posted.
Members may submit their suspected diagnoses to acladweb@aclad.org. At the annual ACLAD scientific session at AALAS, the member submitting the most correct diagnoses will be recognized with a fabulous prize. Persons in laboratory animal training programs or pursuing the alternate track to ACLAM certification are especially encouraged to participate. In the case of a tie, a winner will be selected randomly from those submitting the most correct answers.
In addition, we encourage members or trainees to submit cases for this feature. Cases will be posted with credit or, if preferred, anonymously. In addition to classic or known diagnoses, we welcome case submissions for which the diagnosis is unknown, to elicit the help or suggestions of the collective membership.
