Welcome to the Society of Medicolegal Death Investigators

The Society of Medicolegal Death Investigators (SOMDI) is the only professional organization created and designed exclusively for medicolegal death investigators. SOMDI's goals include providing training and education opportunities for our members. By the end of this decade, we want all of our members to be professionally certified by the American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators (ABMDI) so that we can all provide the finest forensic death investigations to our communities. SOMDI wants to be the force that provides a voice for our members to the forensic science community, interdisciplinary agencies, local, state and federal governments.
