Here is the website for National Association of Medical Examiners: www.thename.org and can click 'FAQ' (frequently asked questions) and then 'general' faq.
For general career info: www.bls.gov/oco and search 'medical examiner' or 'physician'.
www.wikipedia.org may have some more info as well albeit not the most reliable source but with other resources listed.
For US colleges: www.utexas.edu/world/univ

You must go to Med. School to become a medical examiner, and your degree must be in Pathology. As a county coroner, depending on where you live, you must be medically trained, and police trained, not as a MD, but like a paramedic or something like that. I have a friend who is a Funeral Director, who, at one time was a cop, and he is a coroner is Letcher County, KY...it is an elected position. He just determines with the local PD if the case needs to be sent to the ME, or if the death was of natural causes. I live in western Virginia, and we do not have coroners. If you want to get into the CSI game, you need to go to Med school, or work as an autopsy tech. Also, you may notify your local state board of health professions and inquire about getting further information. I hope this helped! Chris
