Using forensic methods correctly is now a crucial part of taking care of patients who have experienced trauma, sexual assault, violence, or crime.
The forensics department provides various microcredentials and courses to give investigators and medical professionals the skills to collect and protect forensic evidence. It also helps them communicate effectively with law enforcement and be an expert witness in court when needed.

“I learned so much in the Forensic Nurse Death Investigator micro-credential, both from the skilled and experienced instructor as well as from my peers working in diverse areas. MY FNDI studies have helped me reframe my work with a critical understanding of Forensic Health Sciences. It has been a pleasure to have the opportunity to explore this challenging and thought-provoking area and discover a community of like-minded clinicians. I highly recommend these courses that can benefit nurses in all practice settings and contexts.”
