The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and the Department of Pathology, Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Medical Center, offer three one-year ACGME-accredited fellowships in forensic pathology – two in our Richmond district office and one in our Norfolk/Virginia Beach district office. The training program fulfills the eligibility requirements for Board certification. Fellows participate in the operations of a district office of one of the nation’s first statewide medical examiner systems either in the historic city of Richmond or in the historic maritime city of Norfolk. Fellows investigate scenes, perform 200-250 complete medicolegal autopsies, sign out inspections, conference with interested parties and testify in courts. Fellows are mentored by six Board certified forensic pathologists. Co-location with the State Division of Forensic Science permits contemporaneous case consultation with firearms (IBUS) and tool marks, trace evidence, latent prints/imaging/AFIS, questioned documents, forensic biology (DNA) and other forensic scientists. VCU Medical Center provides forensic radiology, odontology, neuropathology, and pathology subspecialty consultation. Trainees attend subspecialty courses and reference a medicolegal library, Medline, Internet, and case database. The office participates in the teaching of students and residents. Fellows work with staff to undertake a research project.
Requirements: Applicants must be Board certified or eligible in AP or any combination of subspecialties including AP. They must obtain an unrestricted medical license in the State of Virginia. A valid driver’s license is also required.
Stipends: The University salary and benefits are competitive.
