>> My background is in anatomic pathology,
but my fellowship training was in forensic pathology.
So what that specialty is is specific training in injury patterns.
So in any death I've been trained to look at the injuries and get a sense
of what may have caused them, what they might be due to.
When I finally realized to be a medical examiner I had to go to medical school, I had to,
I enrolled in a master's program, and so I did a master's of science degree in anatomy
in cell biology and brought my grade point average up that way.
So [laughter] I did my master's program at the medical school
where I ended up going to school for medicine.
So that did a couple of things for me, it allowed me to bring my grades up
and get to know some of the people at the medical school
so I'd have a better chance of getting in.
