Forensic autopsy technicians assist pathologists with autopsies and reports
According to Schools in the USA, forensic autopsy technicians can be called "detectives of death." Job duties include assisting with autopsies, preparing reports and collecting specimens. Forensic autopsy technician training can be obtained at the associate, bachelor's and master's levels both online and in the classroom, with options including four-year university programs in the sciences, forensic science and criminal justice programs, and mortuary schools.
University of Florida
One path to becoming a forensic autopsy technician involves obtaining a bachelor of science degree in a field such as chemistry, biology, or forensic science. Since forensic sciences are closely allied to criminal justice careers, forensics students receive training in essential areas of study such as laboratory procedure, gross human anatomy, and data collection, which are applicable to all forensic science career paths. The University of Florida offers the world's largest forensic sciences program, with BS and MS degrees available in both the traditional format and online.
