About This Program
Training during the year includes rotations in toxicology, forensic odontology, forensic anthropology, and the state and local crime labs. The OMI is a state of the art facility with in house computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Postmortem CT scans are performed on the majority of decedents and are interpreted by a board certified forensic radiologist. Trainees will have in depth exposure to radiology interpretation under the guidance of our forensic radiologist.
