In a significant milestone for the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office, Chief Deputy Coroner Bruce Gipson recently achieved certification from the American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators (ABMDI).
ABMDI is a voluntary, national certification that was created to uphold the highest standards of practice in medicolegal death investigations.
ABMDI certification is a rigorous process consisting of an application, employment verification noting at least 640 hours of work experience in a coroner or medical examiner’s office, professional references, and a 250-question test. This certification signifies that Chief Deputy Gipson has met the standards in education, training, and experience, ensuring the utmost professionalism and competence in the field of medicolegal death investigations.
The Coroner and Deputy Coroners of Hamilton County attend as much continuing education as possible to further their understanding of the complexities of death investigations, and this achievement not only reflects the dedication of the office’s investigators but also reinforces its commitment to providing accurate and thorough death investigations for the citizens of Hamilton County.
