What is course certification?

The purpose of the USATF course certification program is to produce road race courses of accurately measured distances.

For any road running performance to be accepted as a record or be nationally ranked, it must be run on a USATF-certified course. In addition, the certification program is very important to the average road racer, as well as those of exceptional speed. Most runners like to compare performances run on different courses, and such comparisons are difficult if course distances are not reliable. No one can truly establish a personal best if the course distance is not accurate.

What is a USATF Sanction?

A USATF Sanction is an official designation issued by USATF, through a local Association, which approves and licenses the holding of a competitive track and field, long distance running, or race-walking event in the United States. USATF Sanctioned Events are provided with liability insurance. Only USATF Sanctioned Events are eligible for National and World Records.

Why Do I need both?

For a road running performance to not only be accepted by USATF but recognized and ratified by USATF, the performance must have occurred on both a USATF certified course and a USATF sanctioned event. With new standards and requirements for world and national ranking, it is imperative that events have both a USATF course certification and a USATF Sanction for athletes to recognize the full benefit of running at a particular road race. While both programs work independently of one another, only events that have both a USATF course certification and a USATF Sanction are record eligible.

For athletes, check here for the list of sanctioned events to see if your next race is record eligible.

Saint Louis University's 40-hour Medicolegal Death Investigators Training Course provides individuals with information on conducting scientific, systematic and thorough death scene and telephone investigations for medical examiner and coroner offices.

The basic training is equally valuable to police officers, coroners, physicians, nurses, emergency medical personnel, attorneys, forensic scientists and others involved in investigating violent, suspicious or unexpected deaths that fall under the jurisdiction of medicolegal authorities.

For those who have completed the introductory training, the Masters Advanced Death Investigator Conference is held biannually and covers current subjects that have emerged since the previous masters conference. 

About the Training

This course aims to provide information to individuals who work in or work with medicolegal offices. This course is intended as an introductory course for those new to medicolegal death investigation. Participants learn to develop the essential facts regarding the death scene, medical history and other information that assists medical examiners or coroners in determining a person's cause and manner of death.

Lectures are presented by forensic specialists on all major categories of deaths that occur in medicolegal jurisdictions, with particular emphasis placed on the investigator's role in the death investigation. Because most presenters are from the St. Louis area, medicolegal procedures of the local jurisdictions are presented; however, many of these procedures can be transferred to your jurisdiction.

The course teaches the 29 national guidelines set forth in the National Institutes of Justice 1999 publication, "Death Investigation: A Guide for the Scene Investigator." Participants are instructed in the proper way to disseminate information to forensic scientists and law enforcement personnel so that a coordinated, efficient and complete death investigation can be achieved.

This course emphasizes the medical aspects of death investigation and is not designed to be a homicide seminar. This course is designed as an introductory level course. Experienced death investigators seeking information beyond the basic introductory information presented in the basic course should consider our Masters Death Investigation Course.

Refresher IRB Training

Following the completion of IRB initial training, UAB IRB policy requires refresher training once every three years for key personnel involved in human subjects research. All training courses are valid for three years from the date of training completion. For example, a training course completed on September 26, 2017 is valid until September 25, 2020.  

Both course options contain the similar elements as well as subjects specific to the type of research.
Participants should only select and complete one Refresher Course option.

Course registration works differently for those who have not established a UAB BlazerID and password.
Instructions for those with or without BlazerIDs can be found below:

Summary of Policy

If a portion of a certified course is modified without remeasuring the whole course, the course will not be given a new 10-year life. Instead, assuming adjustments are done properly, a new certificate will be issued containing the same expiration date as the original certification. In order to obtain a new 10-year life, the entire course must be remeasured at least once.

Assignment of sequence number when full course has not been remeasured

In this case, a new certificate is written with a new sequence number that still includes the course’s original year of certification, and will therefore still expire on the same date as the original certification. As an example, suppose the original number was CA07001RS and an adjustment is made in 2008. The new certificate would still be given a 2007 number, but with a sequence number obtained by incrementing the last 2007 number assigned by the certifier. Suppose the last number issued for 2007 was CA07068RS; then the number assigned to the adjusted course would be CA07069RS. This would mean that the adjusted course has a life of 9 years. If another adjustment is made in 2010, the new number issued would be CA07070RS. This course then would have a life of 7 years from 2010, as the expiration date would remain Dec 31, 2017.

Adjustment procedure when modifying part of a course

Two measurements must be made for all road portions involved in the modification. Then, distance must be added or subtracted somewhere along the course, in order to keep the intended course length unchanged. For more details on this procedure, see the note below.*

Who does the adjustments

Adjustments should preferably be made by the person who originally measured the course. However, if someone else is going to make the adjustment, they must be approved by the Regional Certifier. There is no limit on the number of times a course may be adjusted, but adjustments made without remeasuring the whole course will not extend the course’s expiration date.

To obtain a certification with new 10-year life

If it is desired to extend the course’s expiration date then, after applying the adjustment procedure indicated above (including addition/subtraction of distance with intention of keeping the course length unchanged), the entire course must be remeasured at least once. Thus, all portions of the course not involved in the current modification must be given at least one new measurement. This will result in a remeasured length for the full course, calculated the same way as for any normal certification measurement (including the SCPF in riding constants). If portions of the course have been remeasured only once, the remeasured length must be within 0.08% of the intended race distance, and if it comes out shorter than the intended length, distance must be added to the course to bring it to the intended length. If agreement isn’t obtained within 0.08%, or if the measurer thinks the course should be shortened, then a second measurement is required, as for a new certification.

*Note: Details on adjustment procedure. When re-routing part of a course, we must distinguish between two very different cases:
