What do i need to do first to become a Medical Examiner?

  • I want to know what i need to study in or learn first about becoming a Medical Examiner.

  • Answer:

    You first need to be licensed as a Doctor, which means a bachelors degree, then Med School, residency, etc. You should augment this with courses on forensic science, and possibly life and physical scienses.

Other answers

I agree with the other postee who mentioned that one first needs to obtain a bachelor's (four-year) degree and have taken the necessary pre-med (chemistry, biology, physics, organic chemistry and such) prerequisites while maintaining an excellent gpa (grade point average), take the MCAT (medical school admissions test) and get a competitive score, and get fantastic letters of recommendation in order to possibly get accepted into medical school. For information about how to 'become a board-certified physician': http://abms.org/Who_We_Help/Consumers/process.aspx and one may also click "contact information for all 24 medical boards" link and then go to "pathology" as a specialty for more information about becoming a medical examiner. Association of American Medical Colleges has more information about accredited medical schools in the US (and some in Canada) and such: http://www.aamc.org For general career information: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search 'physicians' or such. US colleges: http://www.utexas.edu/world/univ Please be aware that with college anatomy and physiology that most schools do NOT accept 'human anatomy' but usually 'general anatomy and physiology' so it's best to check with the individual school(s) before actually taking any of the prerequisites as to whether they would transfer to that particular school or prgram.
