To be held at The Chemical Heritage Foundation, Philadelphia, PA

About: An in-depth course in interpretive forensic toxicology, this course explores one of the most challenging areas of forensic science, given the complex range of considerations that must be applied in performing analysis, and reporting and interpreting results. Factors from choice of samples, collection tubes, postmortem redistribution, analytical approach, drug-drug interactions, and tolerance all play a part in providing accurate and reliable interpretive input for the pathologist or medical examiner. Suitable for both forensic toxicologists and pathologists, this course will address all aspects of the investigation of toxicological death, from the scene investigation to the autopsy, design of analytical approach tailored to specific types of death, the interpretation of results, and assessment of postmortem redistribution. This course will review the forensic pharmacology and toxicology of major drug categories found in toxic deaths including opioids, CNS depressants and antipsychotics, anticonvulsants, stimulants, CO, CN, H2S as well as less frequently tested-for toxins. The symposium will feature a panel Q&A session, and dual perspectives on deaths related to transdermal fentanyl patches.

ABFT AND FTCB Exams will be provided on the Friday afternoon at the close of the course to all interested applicants. This course is not endorsed by any certifying body. Students can apply at abft.org and ftcb.org.

World Congress on Infant Head Trauma

Location: The Center for American and International Law
                  5201 Democracy Drive
                  Plano, TX USA

The World Congress on Infant Head Trauma brings together international speakers to find common ground and debate controversial topics in pediatric forensic pathology. This unique congress focuses primarily on the pathology and etiology of head trauma (and its mimics) and not the overarching issue of child abuse.

Two teams have been assembled – one headed by Dr. Greg Schmunk, and one by Dr. John Plunkett. Each team will have up to 10 hours to present their science to the audience. The presentations and subsequent discussions will be moderated by Dr. Chris Milroy.

You should attend if you are a forensic pathologist or forensic pathology fellow, pediatrician or child advocate, law enforcement officer or attorney (prosecuting or defense). Up to 20 CME credits (purchased separately) are available for eligible physicians.

For more information please visit our website www.sbstriad.com and the store https://store.academicfp.com to register.
