Attendees are expected to be knowledgeable of basic death investigation techniques. Graduates of the Medicolegal Death Investigators Training Course, sponsored by Saint Louis University School of Medicine, will have been provided this background. The 2022 Masters Conference topics have been chosen with the practical educational needs of the medicolegal death investigator in mind.

A nationally recognized faculty will present subject matter that will be useful to the attendees.
