November 18 & 19, 2009
Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel—Baltimore, Maryland
This conference is targeted toward medical, clinical, forensic and laboratory toxicologists, and others with an interest in the legal aspects of intoxication. The conference goal is to provide an intensive course on the forensic aspects of ethanol and marijuana. Leaders in the field will cover issues pertaining to biochemistry, toxicokinetics, clinical effects, and laboratory analysis and interpretation of these widely available intoxicants. Recent advances in understanding the neurobiology of impairment will be presented. Issues related to the choice of matrix (blood, urine, oral fluid and hair) will be analyzed. Special emphasis will be given to a thorough understanding of the scientific basis for the assumptions, modeling, and calculations used in these cases. Small group, interactive, and multimedia presentations will be used to enhance the curriculum.
Planning Committee: Marilyn Huestis, PhD; Barry Logan, PhD; Charles McKay, MD, FACMT; Lewis Nelson, MD, FACMT; Paul Wax, MD, FACMT.
