What Education Do You Need To Be A Coroner?
I've watched CSI, Cold Case Files, and like shows all of my life. I have always wanted the experience to be able to examine human bodies for clues and evidence. #doctor #medicine-examiner #education #career #medicine #hospital-and-health-care

Richard’s Answer
To be a forensic pathologist:
4 years of college
4 years of medical school
4 years of pathology residency
However in my state a coroner is an elected official and doesn't necessarily need to be a pathologist.

Bethany - you can use Google to easily find information. You can also research the US Department of Labor website under Occupational Handbook. Here you go:
Since coroners are elected officials, each state has different educational requirements. As such, some states require coroners to be licensed and practicing physicians, meaning that educational requirements include an undergraduate degree, a Doctor of Medicine degree and completion of a residency program.
