Putting Locard's Principle of Exchange Into Action
 AS
A FORENSIC science professional, you know that anyone who enters the scene of a
crime takes something of the scene with him or her and leaves something behind.
I believe that Locard's Principle of Exchange will be practiced in an
educational and social context at Forensic Focus 2003, the definitive forum for
the exchange of the most current medical, clinical, legal and scientific
information, brought to you by the publishers of forensic nurse magazine. The
conference will be held June 17-20, 2003 in sunny Scottsdale, Ariz.
Our speakers, representing the very best and brightest
minds within the forensic science community, will share with participants their
extensive forensic science expertise in the medico-legal arena. This dynamic
conference will unite members of the forensic nursing community with medical
examiners and forensic pathologists, police and government investigators,
forensic scientists and technicians, crime lab directors and specialists from
half a dozen forensic disciplines. I'd like to take this opportunity to
personally thank every speaker who is giving of his or her time to help educate
forensic nurses: Charles Wetli, Nancy Cabelus, Mary Dudley, Diana Schunn, Janet
Barber, Patrick Besant-Matthews, Michael Baden, Barry Fisher, Sharon Crowley,
William Smock, Tascha Boychuk Spears, Belinda Howell, John Piakis, Paulette
Sutton, Brian Donnelly, Pam Assid, Diana Faugno, Brad Simpson, Bruce Sackman and
Candice DeLong. I'd also like to thank Mary Sulllivan and Barbara
Spence-O'Donnell for their tireless efforts. Heartfelt thanks also go to
everyone who is helping to make this conference a success.
Forensic nurses of all specialties will benefit from this
incredible opportunity to absorb nursing practicum, forensic science principles
and investigative case studies from forensic science practitioners who are
active in the field, are widely published and who teach and lecture around the
world. Don't miss your chance to learn from noted experts, network with
colleagues and enjoy the beauty of a resort destination. The conference will
offer extensive pre-conference workshops, plenary and concurrent sessions, a
cocktail reception, a gala dinner and award program, and much more.
On behalf of everyone on the forensic nurse team, I extend
a personal invitation to you, a reader and supporter of forensic nurse, to
attend what I know will be a preeminent educational event. forensic nurse was
launched to champion the field of forensic nursing and acknowledge the
innumerable contributions nurses are making to the forensic science world.
Forensic Focus was created as a vehicle to help bring together the intelligence
and experience forensic practitioners have to offer their colleagues. Please
join us as we celebrate the field and advance the frontiers of the forensic
nursing community. You'll find a conference brochure starting on page 23 in this
issue, or you can log on to: www.forensicfocus.net

See you in Scottsdale!
