Coroners/deputy coroners can now attend autopsies at either Crime Lab for up to  8 hours of continuing education credit. Attending the postmortem examination with the Forensic Pathologist allows for exchange of scene information, better evaluation of postmortem changes, and an opportunity for a better assessment of the body. Attending the autopsy can also offer the opportunity to learn how to draw toxicology samples, if needed. The coroner/deputy coroner must attend 4 autopsies to claim these credits.

Please email the date and time you attended the autopsies to [email protected]
