No substitutions can be made for the five day Basic Death Investigation Training School. If attendance at the school becomes difficult or impossible due to illness or other emergencies, the candidate should contact the State Medical Examiner immediately regarding alternative arrangements. Other courses, schools or additional forms of training may, however, be substituted for either the Interim or Advanced courses if candidates or Medical Examiners wish to make their own arrangements, or if they have special expertise at the time of their appointment. Such substitution is at the discretion of the State Medical Examiner who should be contacted well in advance.
