Donation & Death Investigation Workshop

Medicolegal death investigators, including medical examiners and coroners, play an integral role in donation. Supporting effective relationships requires advanced knowledge of the death investigation process and established procedures to preserve evidence and mitigate potential disruptions introduced by the donation process. Many donors are under the jurisdiction of medicolegal death investigators, and the lack of effective support may lead to donation restrictions.

The Donation and Death Investigation Workshop provides training aimed at promoting the preservation of evidence to foster enhanced relationships with death investigation partners. The workshop builds upon material outlined in the Guide to Medical Examiner and Coroner Cases published by the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB), the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations (AOPO), the Eye Bank Association of America (EBAA), and the International Association of Coroners and Medical Examiners (IACME).The workshop provides content beneficial to donation professionals actively supporting medicolegal death investigation professionals within their service areas, including medical examiner and coroner liaisons, donation organization management, clinical personnel, and operations personnel, while also providing medicolegal professionals a greater understanding of the donation process.
