INFORMATION ON JOB

QUALIFICATIONS

These varied depending on which country (and in the case of the USA, which State you were in). I was unable to find qualification requirements for a Forensic Pathologist in Singapore. However, in the State of California, a Forensic Pathologist must have to have a medical degree and must have a licence from the State to is practice as a doctor and as a surgeon. Also, a Forensic Pathologist needs to be have a special certificate or be eligible to be certified to practice in the field of forensic pathology.

EXPERIENCE

Most online job ads required 4-5 years previous working experience.

LONG-TERM PROSPECTS

One can do purely autopsies in the mortuary, where one would dissect the bodies, takes samples, have them sent to be tested and write reports on the cause of death. One could also simply work in a laboratory. If a person does not want to be doing autopsies in a hospital, one could also teach as a university lecturer in a Department of Pathology, or in the medical department. One can also become a regular doctor or surgeon since one has a medical degree and a surgeon's degree.
