Onsite Training Course Description:
The course this year will be a HYBRID, in-person and simultaneous live online, program and will feature foundational learning opportunities on investigation of drug and toxin caused and related death, including the role of the toxicology laboratory in death investigation, best practices in collaboration between the Forensic Pathologist and Toxicologist, and review of the pharmacokinetics, pharmacogenetics, drug-drug interactions as they pertain to post-mortem toxicology. Toxicology sampling, testing, scope and limitations related to post-mortem cause and manner of death determinations will be discussed.
The faculty consists of experienced medicolegal death investigators, forensic pathologists and toxicologists, who will review the investigation process, indicators of drug involvement from scene examination, the forensic autopsy and review the forensic pharmacology and toxicology of the major drug classes involved in drug deaths in 2025. This year, we have packed the agenda with some of the best presenters, forensic pathologists, and forensic toxicologists in the world! We welcome back Dr. Jim Gill, Chief Medical Examiner with the Office of Chief Medical Examiner of Connecticut and Dr. Barry Logan, Forensic Toxicologist and Chief Scientist with NMS Labs and CFSRE.
The Mutter Museum’s location in Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia offers exceptional opportunity to enjoy the museum and late summer in the city. If, however, you are unable to personally join, the Postmortem Interpretive Toxicology Course is also offered through state of the art, hybrid technology. The Online Version will feature a live, simultaneous broadcast of the presentations from the podium at the Mutter Museum, with the opportunity for virtual interaction with on-site attendees and faculty through a Q&A window and chat feature. This mode is best suited to participants who are unable to travel to in-person meetings or attendees over the allowable capacity of the conference room.
CFSRE offers this training opportunity only one time per year. The 2025 Postmortem Toxicology Training, with its world-leading experts and expertise, should not be missed! We look forward to your registration and attendance.
DETAILED LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- The participants will be able to describe the complexities posed by drug-related deaths from the perspective of a Forensic Pathologist, Forensic Toxicologists, and a certified medicolegal death investigator.
- The participants will be able to apply their understanding of the interrelatedness, dependencies, and level of collaboration and communication that must be present for the Forensic Pathologist to reach accurate cause and manner of death findings.
- The Forensic Fellows and participants will be able to incorporate their understanding of analytical toxicology, pharmacokinetics, pharmacogenomics and Drug-Drug Interaction, into their practice, with incoporating the scope, type, and level of forensic toxicology required in their medicolegal death investigations.
