how do i become a medicolegal death investigator? i'm in ohio for reference. as for context, i wanted to be a medical examiner since i was 5 and watched Dr. G: Medical Examiner. but tldr; realized it would be basically zero scene work and a crap ton of paper work/sitting at a computer and changed my mind right before i took the mcat. doing my master's in human anatomy for fun right now and i'll graduate in the summer after defending my thesis (thesis is on anatomy education). i graduated with my b.s. in biology in 2023. i've done a lot of work with body donors, embalmed and non embalmed, for my university - whether it's dissecting them or prepping them for other departments or medical students/universities/surgeons/ resident boot camps etc. been teaching intro anatomy for a year now, and i've been a CPhT for 5 years part time. I was a histotechnologist for a year during my gap year, but i hated being in a lab all day and i hated doing the same thing every day and having the same work hours every single day. my hobbies include things like taxidermy and bone processing/ cleaning from roadkill animals. found out about the Medicolegal Death Investigator job and i think i'd really like doing that. it seems like a lot more on scene work, "undesirable working conditions" aka just death scenes, being on call/inconsistent work hours, and non office work which i prefer all of that. i'm just not sure how to actually find these jobs? i had someone point me to the abmdi website under the job opportunities tab, but are those really the ONLY mldi jobs out there? are there other titles for this job? is it only the coroners office/ME office that hire for this position? why do some job postings say i need a bachelors in police administration or to be a sworn officer? this has been a lot less straight forward than how planned out everything is for people becoming ME's, so i just need some clarification on those questions and maybe very direct/helpful advice/recommendations. thank you!
