This session will review collaborative initiatives between organizations representing the fields of donation and death investigation. The American Association of Tissue Banks, the Eye Bank Association of America, the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations, and the International Association of Coroners & Medical Examiners joined forces to deliver guidance and education to support the needs of the medicolegal community and ensure donation and death investigations can move forward cohesively on shared cases.
