Course Summary

Course:  WB4317
CE Expiration:  10/30/2022, 11:59 PM (ET)
Available CE:  CME, CEU
This course promotes the use of current evidence-based practices for investigation, evaluation, and certification of drug toxicity deaths. This course is comprised of four modules including an overview of medicolegal death investigation, an introduction to scene investigation, autopsy, postmortem toxicology and death certification. The ultimate goal of the medicolegal death investigation is to provide information to determine an accurate, logical, and scientifically unbiased statement of the cause and manner of death. The scene investigation of any drug-related death requires a complete investigation of the circumstances of death, the death scene, and past medical history. When prescription and illicit drugs are suspected, there are special considerations that apply to the investigation of the death scene. This training includes specifics on the significance of autopsy and postmortem toxicology in the investigation of suspected drug toxicity deaths. Medical examiners/coroners and toxicologists must work together to evaluate all circumstances as they relate to a case in order to accurately certify drug toxicity deaths.
