My husband spent 12 years in medicine and switched to law enforcement a few years ago. Being and ME is a unique and exciting career he tells me. I hear all about different types of cases they do and they do alot of detecive work. Pulling information and medical histories to come up with a cause in some cases. There are many areas that the ME's actually go to the scen and start from there. I think if you are interested the best thing to do is contact you local statepolice or municipality and ask to sepak to the ME's office schedule a tour and ask to watch one. My husband loves his work and he's always excited when he has a case that deals with medicine because he know what to look for and how to help them. He highly regards them .
Give it a shot.. you might like it! Good luck

In the United states, to be a medical examiner (or ME) you need a medical degree (MD) so you go to medical school like everyone else, and then you go through your regular residency period, like all doctors do. Then you study for a few years specializing in pathology, so you understand what it is you are looking for. Then you get a fellowship or residency with a medical examiner's office for another few years before you are a board certified medical examiner. The standards are very high because you are testifying your findings in legal cases, and someone's life is at stake, so it requires alot of study. However, it is a very rewarding career.

It sounds like a great career! It could be tough though when you deal with cases involving small children. Be prepared to deal with stressful and sometimes sad situations. But, I think it would be a great career. That's what I wanted to be for a long time. But, certain subjects at school ate my lunch and I changed majors to make my life easier in the long run. I may still go back and try again someday.
Good luck! Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life.

That's a bold faced lie and there is ample proof too. Private schools actually educate their students and also teach them how to be mannerable, polite, and how to fit into society. They also get students ready for college where public schools fail miserably in all those areas. Parents that send their kids to private schools do it because they care about their kids getting a quality edcuacation. That's why it cost a lot of money to send them there because it's worthwhile. I went to public schools all my life and they are worse than ever. Believe me I know because my wife is a teacher and she's taught in both public and private. Heck private schools are way and I do mean way better than public schools. You cannot get away with the same stuff in private schools as kids do in public because they are disciplined and will kick your butt right on out of there. You need to do a little more reading and edcucate yourself because you are wrong.

Medical Examiner, wow, tough choice to take. Lots of dedication and work, no fear of blood or corpses, if you make it more power to you. It's not an easy career, but it can be tremendously rewarding.

It's a pretty talented job field, and if you can stomache the blood, guts and gore and can get beyond the death aspect I'd say go for it. I have a great deal of respect for anyone that works in that field.
