The Encyclopedia of Underwater Investigations Independent Study Certification Course book is designed as a self-study companion certification course to the Encyclopedia of Underwater Investigations.This course is a compilation of materials taught to many nationally and internationally recognized law enforcement and public safety agencies. Until now, this course was offered only in a classroom setting to such agencies as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Federal Bureau of Investigations, Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, Canadian and American Armed Forces, and many other police, fire department, and rescue agencies throughout North America.The certification course helps individuals think like a professional investigator and draw accurate conclusions about actual criminal cases. It covers not only the material presented in the Encyclopedia textbook, but challenges the course participant to think in new and unconventional directions about the basic principles of underwater and water-related investigations. Upon completion of the course, course participants who score a minimum of 80% on the final examination will be eligible for Underwater Investigator's Certification from Public Safety Dive Services.Approximately 40 hours of study will be required to successfully complete this course. Attention must be given to detail in order to develop a thorough understanding of the principles involved in this highly specialized type of investigation.Throughout the course you will be challenged not only to learn the materials on the pages of the textbook, Encyclopedia of Underwater Investigations but to understand the principles set forth and be able to come to your own conclusions on actual criminal cases.

This easy to read book provides practical, real-world solutions to effectively manage and diminish your medical-legal risks. As a practicing healthcare attorney, Kevin W. Yankowsky has represented individual clinicians and healthcare institutions involved in legal disputes of all shapes and sizes. In his over 20 years as a practicing attorney, he has seen providers and institutions pour money into resolving legal disputes that potentially could have been avoided. Institutions focus too much of their time, effort, and financial resources on the costs of litigation defense and the expenses of settlement rather than investing time and resources on medical-legal prevention. In Preventative Legal Care: A Practitioner's Guide to Medical-Legal Fitness, Yankowsky outlines some medical-legal risk factors unassociated with clinical care and supplies practical real-world solutions to recognize, control and minimize, if not eliminate, those factors.
