What education and training are required to become coroner?

Answer:

Coroner Qualifications

You must be a qualified barrister/solicitor/doctor with at least five years' post-qualifying experience. Some coroners have qualifications in both law and medicine.

Since law and medicine are dynamic fields that change over time, you will also need ongoing training to keep you up to date with changes in law, medical procedures and administrative practices.
Some coroners will also need to be a certified pathologist.

There are courses such as the Medicolegal Death Investigators Course.

A full academic degree can be:
* Bachelor's degree programs in forensic science;
* Or bachelor's of science degrees in chemistry, biochemistry, or genetic engineering, with a forensic science emphasis;
* Or bachelor's of science degrees with an emphasis in a specialty such as pathology, criminalistics, odontology, jurisprudence, toxicology, or forensic accounting.

The requirements vary from position to position.
