Unfortunately many people in the United States pass away on a daily basis. In many circumstances the cause of death is unknown and highly trained professionals are required to perform tests and procedures to determine the cause of death. This is the job of medical examiners.

Hey, I'm Joshua T. Osborne

In 2015, I said goodbye to 16-hour days and hauling boxes up and down stairs for a living (I was a mover). I became a full-time entrepreneur, and I made my money by helping business owners make money.

They had a need, and because of Virtual Tool Booths., I could fill it. Through the methods taught by my all-time favorite course and mentor, I created a 6-figure business in roughly 6 months. I could retire today (at 37) and never have to worry about money ever again.

Because of Virtual Tool Booths., I was able to quit my job, work online with flexible hours, and move to the mountains (Colorado Springs if you’re wondering)...all while helping real people improve their businesses, incomes, and lives!

For most folks, a college degree is the biggest bill of their lives. I never went to college. So I don’t have any massive bills or giant debts hanging over my head. My greatest education came from Virtual Tool Booths. (for a tiny fraction of what college costs) and it’s the bill that pays ALL the bills - a hundred times over!

I really wanted to share this secret weapon with others, so they could change their lives the way I changed mine. So if you’re not 100% sure about college, or only researching to make someone else happy, Virtual Tool Booths. might be a better option for you.

What does a medical examiner do?

Medical examiners perform autopsies and conduct other tests and procedures to determine the cause of death of a variety of patients. They inspect bodies internally and externally and study the organs, cells, tissue, and body fluids to determine disease, illness, or injury and they analyze DNA and blood using different tools and equipment. Medical examiners conduct the necessary procedures and use information from medical records, internal and external autopsies, and circumstantial evidence to determine an accurate cause and time of death. Many medical examiners are essential to a variety of civil and criminal court cases and are often required to present their autopsy findings in reports and testimonials.

What kind of training does a medical examiner need?

Medical examiners must have an undergraduate degree in pre-medicine, pathology, or law or other related field. They also need a Doctor of Medicine degree and certification in pathology. Most medical school programs include two years of coursework including laboratory experience and two years of supervised direct patient care. After completion of medical school, aspiring medical examiners must complete a forensic pathology residency that typically takes 3 to 8 years to complete.

All states require medical examiners to be licensed pathologists. Licensing requirements typically include extensive work experience and passing a written examination. Medical examiners can also become board certified from the American Board of Pathology.

What are the prospects for a career as a medical examiner?

Employment of medical examiners is expected to grow faster than average for all professions, increasing 14% from 2006 to 2016 (1).

Job prospects are expected to be good especially for medical examiners with extensive experience. Job openings will also arise from the need to replace medical examiners that retire, transfer, or leave the field for other reasons.

How much do medical examiners make?

As of October 2009, the average annual salary of medical examiners is $45,000; average annual salaries vary greatly on location, field, position, experience, and benefits (2).

A career as a medical examiner is an excellent choice for individuals who are interested in performing autopsies and other tasks to determine causes of death. Medical examiners must be able to handle a variety of unfavorable situations and must not be easily squeamish. Patience, good eye-hand coordination, determination, and perseverance are essential qualities of medical examiners. They must also be able to effectively work independently and as part of a team. Medical examiners must have excellent communication and interpersonal skills and be able to effectively present their reports to many different people. They must be able to work under pressure and stressful situations with time constraints.
