Points System: A new feature this year
Earn one point each for attendance at 50X rounds, Friday gross rounds, and mystery slides. Those that accumulate 15 points get a path related prize.
Mystery Slides: Work your skills
Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec
Another new feature this year. As seen at the yearly ACVP conference, mystery slides offer you an opportunity to test your skills. One slide will be available for your review each month in a room TBA. On your own time (b/w 9am-6pm M-F) surf around on the slide, write a paragraph describing what you see and offer a tentative diagnosis. Completion will win you a prize. Completion with correct diagnosis yields a more valuable prize.
