Jordyn,


Courses in the criminal area involving physiology, is the forensic pathologist's career:


The forensic pathologist performs autopsies on the bodies of crime victims in order to determine the cause of death. In addition to examining the body for cause of death, forensic pathologists may also collect evidence, noting irregularities such as unnatural substances in the body, analyzing stomach contents and more.Besides the actual hands-on work of performing autopsies, forensic pathologists must also keep a detailed record of everything they do and find in the process.


Forensic pathology involves a commitment to education. The first step is earning a bachelor's degree in a related field, generally one that is science oriented. The next step is becoming a licensed doctor, a process that can take up to eight years. In addition to medical training, forensic pathologists usually go on to receive special training, such as a one-year fellowship, before practicing independently. Forensic pathologists must also obtain an official license, which they can receive by taking a certification exam offered by the American Board of Pathology.


In general recent year have produced an increased interest in a variety of forensic fields. More schools are creating programs specifically geared to forensic specialties. In addition, advances in forensic technology, including DNA analysis, continue to bring attention to the field.
