Forensic Science Training Program

New York City’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) has established a new Forensic Sciences Training Program. Funded by the National Institute of Justice, the Training Program will launch this year (2009) with practitioner-oriented courses in the Medicolegal Investigation of Death. Both basic and advanced courses will be offered at no cost to the participant. Course selections are expected to expand following the launch period.

Training participants will have access to a resource rich learning environment – NYC’s OCME is one of the country’s premier forensic science agencies, and is home to expert faculty, the largest public DNA laboratory in the USA, and specialty departments in crime scene reconstruction, mass fatality management and forensic anthropology. OCME’s state-of-the art thirteen-story building showcases a dividable 250-seat auditorium with the latest media technology, as well as specialized training laboratories, and equipment to support practical training in all-hazards investigation and disaster response.
