Facilitated by the Forensics TTA Team, this webinar features guest speakers Dr. Jonathan Lucas of the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office and Dr. Lou Mendes-Kramer, Forensic Task Force Chair of the American Association of Pathologists’ Assistants (AAPA). The presenters highlight the various ways medical examiner/coroner (ME/C) offices of various sizes access autopsy services and specialists – including benefits and limitations of each. The presenters discuss working with locum tenens and pathologists’ assistants, providing tips on how to best work with these different specialists, across their capabilities and how to get the full benefits of their services. This is the third and final session in a three-part series that provides a high-level overview of ancillary services that ME/C offices may interact with to investigate cases, focusing especially on more unusual cases.
