Forensic pathologists, forensic biologists, histology and pathology technicians and crime scene investigators from across the country are attending the first-ever Forensic Anthropology training at Hoodless House in Suva.
Funded by the Royal College of Pathologists Australasia (RCPA) and the Victoria Institute of Forensic Medicine (VIFM), the three-day training that began today is being facilitated by Professor Soren Blau and Dr Samantha Rowbotham.
Prof Blau said the training would be an interesting one for the participants from different backgrounds
She said the training would mostly be interactive because they as facilitators would love to know more about the environment the participants worked in since this was her first time to Fiji.
Dr James Kalougivaki from the Fiji Police Force Forensic Department acknowledged the two facilitators and stressed that all participants were eager to learn more over the next three days.
Forensic Anthropology is a subspecialty of forensic science that provides examinations of human skeletal remains for medical legal death investigations.
