Date & Location
Thursday, May 6, 2021, 8:00 AM - Tuesday, August 3, 2021, 9:00 AM, Internet, St. Louis, MO

Overview

This activity was recorded during a live stream course that took place January 4-8, 2021. The content was approved as being a value to those seeking to learn more about Medicolegal Death Investigation.

The full course will take about 35 hours to complete depending upon how many times you stop and review information.

Technical issues should be sent to the Encore/PSAV team. Their contact information will be listed on the material link.



Objectives
The Course Objectives are as follows:

  1. Prepare the investigator to conduct thorough and systematic death scene and telephone investigations which, by law, are under the jurisdiction of a medicolegal office; to then disseminate the investigative information to departmental forensic scientists to achieve a coordinated, efficient and complete death inquiry.
  2. Teach capabilities of ancillary forensic sciences (anthropology, biology, criminalistics, entomology, psychiatry, radiology and toxiciology) will be explained.
  3. Place emphasis to the medical aspects of death investigation.

Registration

The purpose of this enduring material (on-demand viewing) is to provide basic introductory training in medicolegal death investigation. Prior to the institution of this course 42 years ago, there was NO training available for medicolegal death investigators. Mary Fran Ernst and Dr. Gantner developed this training course to provide training for those who were tasked with investigating deaths. Fast forward 42 years, we are still the premier basic trainer for medicolegal death investigators.  Anyone who plays a role in the investigation of medicolegal deaths, whether they be coroners, police officers, homicide detectives, or medicolegal death investigators can benefit from this course.  It provides basic introductory information on the key players in a medicolegal death investigation by providing lectures from practitioners such as medical examiners, toxicologists, anthropologists, odontologists, crime scene investigators, and homicide investigators on what type of information from the scene should be collected by the death investigator and how that information can help them with the determination of cause and manner of death.  The participants are then given training on how to gather information at various types of death scenes.  The material includes a review of courtroom techniques and a discussion on social media's impact on next of kin notification.  This course can prepare both novice and seasoned investigators to more effectively and efficiently process a death scene and gather all of the information needed.  

Participants need to be currently employed in a position such as funeral director, coroner, death investigator, law enforcement, nursing, EMS, or other medicolegal field to register for this course. 

Participants who complete this Basic Course are eligible to take the Masters Course held every other year. This is a case-based course which covers new techniques and high profile cases. These lectures provide training on what to do in unique situations and how new techniques can assist with obtaining evidence and/or identification. The next Masters face to face course is being planned for June of 2022.

These courses are training courses, not certification courses or degree courses. We offer continuing education certificates to those wanting to turn in the credits to their professional board to maintain certification. Please refer to the accreditation information below for a list of approved types of CE. More will be added as they are approved. We will also provide a certificate of attendance at the completion of the course to all that do not need an official CME/CE credit certificate. All will need to complete the material, submit a self-assesment, and complete the on-line evaluation regardless if you are requesting an official CME/CE or a general attendance certificate.

Please note, we are not affiliated with the American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators. Saint Louis University staff will not answer question on their behalf. Please contact the ABMDI regarding requirements, exam, and fees. We are not providing testing at the end of the course. Please refer to the ABMDI site for a practice test and for more information.
