Mentoring: A former mentee’s reflections
Contributed by Dr. Anoop Kavirayani, The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine
The teacher is the prior form, the taught is the posterior
form, learning is the intermediate form and
knowledge is the connection. Thus one should meditate
upon knowledge. (The Upanishads)
Mentoring can be thought of as an augmentation of
the learning process that results in the enrichment of a
mentee’s knowledge in that discipline or pursuit. The
mentee and mentor are integral components of such a
mentoring equation that consists of dynamic impartation
and imbibition of skill sets necessary for success
in professional practice.
In more specific terms, the Oxford Dictionary of Human
Resource Management (© Oxford University
Press, 2010) defines mentoring as “the process,
whereby a senior employee takes an active role in
developing a junior colleague. Typically, this occurs
at managerial level or amongst professions. The mentor
provides advice on how the mentee can develop
his or her skills, competencies, knowledge, and experience
in order to progress along a successful career
path. As well as giving advice, the mentor might
also prove useful in providing contacts that help the
mentee to engage in the process of networking.”
This definition seems to readily apply to Pathology
training programs in which practicing Pathologists
and Pathology educators facilitate in various ways,
the favorable metamorphosis of students to Pathologists
through the critical stage of residency.
With the above perspective, it seems appropriate to
reflect on the mentee side of the equation as applicable
to Pathology mentoring. Once students transform
to residents, they typically become units of a smaller,
much more interconnected training group in which
timed lectures and tailored laboratory sessions are no
longer staples, but vital supplements. Instruction in
Pathology as it happens becomes the staple.
Mentees can make the most of “instruction in Pathology
as it happens” by realizing that Pathologists vary
in their styles of practice and instruction. They will
find great diversity in mentoring styles and outputs
and it is only natural that different styles and outputs
will suit mentees of different aspirations and mindsets.
As illustrated in the opening quote, the primary
focus should then be on the dynamic flow of knowledge
and sustained enrichment of skill sets. Resources
and logistics permitting, mentees should try
to develop mentoring relationships with multiple
mentors in different capacities. In addition to primary
mentors, namely the Pathology faculty to whom the
mentees are assigned for the duration of the residency
program, it would be productive to have secondary
and tertiary mentors.

Volume 3, Issue 1
Mentoring: A former mentee’s reflections, Cont.
Secondary mentors would be visiting faculty or faculty
at a collaborating institution with whom the mentees
could interact periodically and primary mentors
could facilitate such interactions. When feasible,
mentees could also interact with tertiary mentors who
would be members of organizations such as the
American College of Veterinary Pathology, American
Society of Investigative Pathology and Society of
Toxicologic Pathology. Such interactions would typically
be remote (electronic / telephonic) and should
ensure that conflicts of interest are avoided. Annual
and regional meetings could serve as venues of periodic
follow-up on tertiary mentoring interactions.
Through all these possibilities, mentees could prudently
take it upon themselves to find the “intuitioninstruction
equilibrium,” and assimilate and integrate
as much as they can of the various styles and skill
sets in line with their aspirations and long-term goals.
I’ll now conclude my reflections and suggestions as a
former mentee with the hope of transforming myself
into a mentor. With a final note of gratitude to those
who have mentored me in Pathology I wish all Pathology
mentees-to-be the very best in finding productive
“knowledge connections.”

A day in the Life of…...
Stephanie C. Corn, BS, DVM, Diplomate ACVP (Clinical Pathology)
Who is your current employer?
�� I am a clinical pathologist at IDEXX Laboratories,
Inc. in Worthington, OH.
Where did you do your training?
�� 1992 – 1996, BS, Zoology, The Ohio State University
�� 1996 – 2000, DVM, The Ohio State University
�� 2002 – 2005, Clinical Pathology Residency , The
Ohio State University
�� 2005 – Diplomate, American College of Veterinary
Pathologists
What are some of your day-to-day duties?
�� I spend most of my time examining fine needle aspirate
slides from a variety of lesions. Most of these are
skin or subcutaneous masses and peripheral lymph
nodes, but I also see many ultrasound-guided aspirates
of internal organs or masses. Most of the samples are
from dogs and cats, but I also get samples from horses,
ruminants, llamas/alpacas, exotics, and zoo animals.
�� I evaluate fluid samples from the abdominal, pleural,
or pericardial space, as well as cerebrospinal fluid and
joint fluid.
�� I review abnormal blood smears flagged by technicians
that perform the initial evaluation of CBC slides in
the lab. These patients may be diagnosed with leukemia,
blood parasites, or a specific etiology for their anemia
(e.g. Heinz body anemia).
� I interpret results of immunophenotyping by flow
cytometry for dogs and cats with lymphocytosis in the
peripheral blood. This can help differentiate between
reactive lymphocytosis and lymphoid leukemia (chronic
or acute). Lymph node samples from dogs diagnosed
with lymphoma on cytology are also examined to differentiate
between B-cell and T-cell lymphoma, which has
prognostic value.
�� I do consults with Veterinarians about results
from cytology, hematology, or flow cytometry samples
that I have evaluated as well as any other laboratory
results that they need help interpreting.
�� Our laboratory shares the building with a small
animal specialty clinic (MedVet Medical and Cancer
Center for Pets), and I train surgery, internal medicine,
and oncology residents in pathology.
�� I participate in tumor rounds with the specialists
from MedVet. I also attend clinical pathology seminar
with the clinical pathologists and clinical pathology
residents at The Ohio State University.
�� I train a clinical pathology resident that is in a
dual program with IDEXX and The Ohio State
University.
What do you like most about veterinary pathology?
Making a diagnosis in a tough case. It’s
very rewarding to be able to give the submitting Veterinarian
a specific diagnosis that can guide treatment.
My favorite cases are infectious diseases that
mimic neoplasia. It can be very hard to differentiate
between these based on the clinical presentation
alone, and the treatment and prognosis are completely
different.
Advice for students interested
in veterinary pathology
as a career?
Learn about as many species
as you can, and spend Vet
school learning how to be a
well-rounded Veterinarian.
You can wait to specialize
until your residency.

Focus on our Future…. Showcasing our Veterinary Schools and Pathology
Programs
The Ohio State University College
of Veterinary Medicine: Student
Chapter of the ACVP
Contributed by Gabrielle Pastenkos
The Ohio State University College of Veterinary
Medicine’s chapter of the ACVP was founded in
2000. The club has a small core of dedicated members
and maintains contact with a large portion of the
student body through its listserv. Current officers are
Dillon Muth (President), Gabrielle Pastenkos (Vice
President) and Amy Gagat (Treasurer). Dr. Paul D.
Stromberg is faculty advisor, and Drs. Kristin Lewis
and Sarah Chaney are the 2010-2011 resident mentors.
The club does not charge dues for membership
and welcomes all students to its events. Our goal is
that the majority of OSU veterinary students experience
the interface of pathology and clinical medicine.
Most events are made possible by the generosity of
our residents and professors, who freely share their
time and expertise. Funds come from participation in
monthly Hills food sales in addition to grants from
the University.
The OSU SCACVP strives to provide experiential
opportunities to students who are looking forward to
clinical practice as well as to those planning on a career
in pathology. Weekly slide readings with our
residents keep pace with the first year histology curriculum,
and club members run reviews before first
year exams. Members of the pre-veterinary club join
us for a wetlab where they get a hands-on introduc-
Goss Laboratory
tion to pathologic diagnosis of disease. These informal
meetings are an excellent forum for general discussions
about the profession. Formal lunch lectures
are regular events, often hosted jointly with other
clubs with the intention of demonstrating the interface
of pathology and clinical medicine. Dr. Donald
H. Schlafer, from Cornell College of Medicine, recently
visited as a lecturer, at an event co-sponsored
by the Pathology and Theriogeneology clubs. Dr.
Schlafer gave an engaging lecture on placental abnormalities.
The club is looking forward to a lecture by
the College’s own Dr. Christopher Premanandan on
ruminant abortion, co-hosted by the Food Animal
Club. Dr. Premanandan’s food animal pathology lectures
are popular events.
Our professors and residents take an active role in
directing students with specific interests in clinical
and anatomic pathology towards shaping and achieving
their professional goals. A recent lecture featured
Dr. Krista La Perle ,Director of the Comparative Pathology
and Mouse Phenotyping Shared Resource,
discussing her professional history. Dr. Premanandan
led several wetlabs that showed students how to select
tissues from the necropsy floor for slide preparation.
Students chose tissues, cut samples, fixed them
and sent them for slide preparation, and participated
in a slide review.

The club makes a yearly presentation at the College’s
open house program. The microscope lab is set up
with slide cases, gross photos are displayed on a projector
screen, and club members make themselves
available to prospective students to answer questions
both about the pathology field and veterinary school
life in general.
The club’s members take active roles in College research.
Over the past two years, three members have
participated in the College’s Summer Veterinary
Scholar Research Program (supported both by an
NIH T35 grant and the Morris Animal Foundation)
and attended the Merck-Merial NIH National Veterinary
Scholars Symposium to present their research.
Dillon Muth’s project developed regulatory dendritic
cells with the pregnancy estrogen Estriol. Gabrielle
Pastenkos performed sequencing and phylogenetic
analysis of three major surface antigens of
Neorickettsia risticii. Bonnie Harrington’s project
differentiated biologically high grade mast cell tumors
from their biologically low grade counterparts
based on molecular biology. Fourth year member
Lauren Mattei received the OSU CVM 2010 Advances
in Veterinary Medicine day basic research
travel award for her poster, "Innate Immunity to Oral
Salmonella Infection in Absence of IL-17." Club
members attend the annual ACVP conference with
financial assistance from the ACVP. At this year’s
conference, Dillon Muth will be presenting a poster
titled, “Synovial Cell Sarcoma in a Marmoset”.

Case Report
The case of the Mass-Laden Macaque
The presentation…………….
Signalment: 10 year old, female, naive, cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis).
History: On routine external examination, a mass was palpated in the caudal abdomen.
Examination of a fine needle aspirate from the mass was non-specific and contained
erythrocytes, hemosiderin-filled macrophages, and rare neutrophils. The animal was
euthanized and necropsied. Clinical pathology (hematology, coagulation, routine
clinical chemistry) identified a slightly decreased hematocrit (31%).
Necropsy: The urogenital tract and colon/rectum were consolidated into a mottled,
firm, irregular, approximately 4 x 4 x 5 cm mass that contained many blood filled cysts.
Gross appearance of endometriosis in a human. The rectum is adherent to the left uterosacral ligament and the
back of the cervix with endometriosis. (http://www.gynaecology.spotmysite.com/page/649/)

Case Report
The case of the mass-Laden Macaque
Microscopic Appearance…………….
200µm
At higher magnification, the wall of the cysts was composed of ectopic endometrial tissue with epithelium,
glands, and stroma.
Histopathology: The outer surface of the uterus, ovary, broad ligament and colon
were distorted and covered by many small coalescing cystic masses. The cysts were
variably filled with erythrocytes, few neutrophils, macrophages and cellular debris and
were lined by a single layer of well-differentiated glandular epithelium, morphologically
consistent with endometrium. This epithelial layer was supported by spindleshaped
endometrial stromal cells which merged into the adjoining smooth muscle or
connective tissue. There were multiple interspersed areas of fibrosis expanded by
chronic inflammation containing macrophages (some of them containing hemosiderin),
lymphocytes and plasma cells.

Case Report
The case of the mass-Laden Macaque
And the answer is…………….
Microscopic diagnosis: Chronic endometriosis with adhesions
Comments:
Endometriosis is the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue, outside the uterus
(Fanton et al., 1986). Endometriosis is a common disorder of sexually mature
female macaques with a reported incidence of up to 30% in some colonies
(Zondervan et al., 2004). Reported clinical signs in macaques with endometriosis
are non-specific and include body weight loss, anorexia, constipation,
decreased fertility and anemia. The masses in the abdominal and pelvic
cavity can occasionally be palpated externally or by digital rectal examination.
Grossly, endometriosis is often observed as mottled, tan, cystic
masses in the pelvic and abdominal cavity over the surface of uterus, urinary
bladder, distal colon and ovaries. Histologically, these masses are composed
of ectopic endometrial glands and stroma with hemorrhage. This ectopic endometrial
tissue undergoes cyclical changes in response to estrogen and progesterone,
however the endometriotic lesions have been reported to have defective
hormonal regulation (Sternfeld et al., 1988)
Though an exact mechanism for the development of endometriosis is not
known, it has been proposed that retrograde menstruation through the fallopian
tubes causes the spread of endometrial tissue to the pelvic and peritoneal
cavity (metastatic theory). Another hypothesis is that ectopic endometrium
arises directly from the mesothelium of pelvis or abdomen
(metaplastic theory). Risk factors for endometriosis reportedly include genetic
predisposition, hysterectomy, whole body irradiation and exposure to
toxins (Cline et al., 2008, Zondervan et al., 2004). Endometriosis is an important
clinical condition of women and can cause infertility, pelvic pain and
dysmenorrhea among other complications. Non human primates have been
used as a model to investigate human endometriosis.
