On the day we moved to America, my mother asked me, “Child, what do you want to become when you grow up?” The only answer that came to mind was becoming a doctor, probably because I had always been interested in science. The idea of saving or changing lives in anyway possible was a dream come true. Eleven years later, I realize that coming to America from Djibouti was the best thing in my life because I would never have had the opportunity or means that I now have to pursue my dreams. Become a forensic medical examiner combines two of my passions, science and police work. A forensic medical examiner not only helps the police find clues to solve crimes, but they also determine the cause of death and what weapon the killer uses. My path to becoming
Through myriad lectures, I am finding that I learn best kinesthetically. Hands-on activities provide kinesthetic learners with a deeper understanding of material that they do not receive with lectures alone. Simply reading a textbook or following a power-point is great for note-taking, but I have found that notes are not enough for me. By actually doing, I benefit from practice, and the content is better stored in memory. Even with simple flashcards for memorizing vocabulary or historical dates, I will excel further than by skimming over a sheet of paper or by listening to the information repeatedly read aloud. If I achieve my goal of becoming a crime scene technician, my learning style will take me far because the job will require me to collect
When I tell my friends and family members that my lifelong dream is to become a Medical Examiner, they assume that I enjoy the sense of blood and gore. To most people, being a Medical Examiner involves dealing with the dead, and they picture corpses in silver metal sliding drawers and incisions being made into ice-cold flesh. But I do not see that when I think about my future career. Instead, I see comfort and satisfactory. I perceive a long journey of schooling ahead of me followed by a rewarding career that will benefit myself and the community in the future. Being a Medical Examiner is not about the dead. It is about the living. Medical Examiners are responsible for the investigation in unnatural or suspicious deaths. They perform autopsies
The life of a forensic science technician is a special career for a special person. It requires certain skills and patience to be a forensic science technician. There are positives and negatives to being a forensic science technician.
When i grow older an ideal career would be a Forensic Technicians. Forensic Technician aids criminal investigations by collecting and analyzing evidence. Many technicians specialize in either CSI (crime scene investigation) or laboratory analysis. Most forensic science technicians will devote lot of time in their careers writing reports running tests and working at crime scenes. It is important for today's youth to to understand the education and training, requirements,skills,or talents needed to succeed in your career in life to make the decision of what you want to be in your life.
There will always be a fight for justice, and where there is crime there are those who must solve them. I wish to pursue a career in the criminal justice industry, mainly working as a forensic science criminalist. Those who use scientific logic and evidence found at the scene of the crime to solve the case, The heroes who don’t wear the labcoats instead of the black and blues. Heroes like these need certain skills, interests, and values that make them an official criminalist.
Residency programs give residents critical skills and real-world experience in their chosen field. “Medical school graduates must complete their residency in anatomic and forensic pathology in order to become medical examiners” (Pathology 3). In a forensic pathology residency residents “gain practical experience by participating in autopsies and investigations” (Pathology 3). In order to do well in a residency program, you need to gain the needed skills for the career chosen. “Medical examiners have strong skills in coordination, critical thinking, and social perceptiveness” (Pathology 3). Most Residency programs offer electives, so that residents can gain knowledge and experience in other fields similar to the one they wish to pursue (Pathology 3). “Electives for forensic pathology are for students to learn about the pathology of the systems they're interested in, such as molecular pathology, neuropathology, and transplant pathology” (Pathology
Have you ever closed your eyes and your dreams painted a miraculous picture that it seemed too good to be true ? I close my eyes and I picture myself with a crisp cotton white lab coat with a burgundy stethoscope draped over my shoulders. The patient in front of me hears the “ clicking” sound of my pen as I scribble a prescription down on my clipboard. My dream is to become a Nurse Practitioner that specializes in Forensics after I graduate with my Bachelor of Nursing degree. In order, for someone to make their dreams come true, they need three key elements which are perseverance, determination and ambition. I posses all of these characteristics so, I know my dreams will come true.

It all started in the 4th grade. That’s when I knew that being in the medical field is what I’ve always wanted to do. This day, my 4th grade teacher gave us an assignment while learning science. We were specifically learning about the heart and it’s 4 chambers. This subject, I remember, was so captivating and fascinating for me. I soaked in all the information I got from this class extremely easily. It was unlike any of the other classes that I have taken thus far. Math, literature and history were not subjects that I thought were very interesting for me but science was something that I especially excelled in. As the years went by I learned that I was especially had an interest in forensics. The ability to see the open body one-on-one in the fashion that forensics get to have contact with a body was more than interesting for me. So at the age of 12, I decided that forensics was what I was gonna put my mind to.
For as long as I can remember, I have always been interested in pursuing a career in the medical field. These interests were most likely brought to life from my desire to want to help people and learn more about the human body. The experiences I’ve had throughout my life have brought me closer to the belief that I can one day make a difference in the world through medicine. All though I am not completely decided on what I would like my future career to be, I have been able to narrow my options down to a few of the many choices available.
I have taken my studies seriously and for that I am proud to uphold my Honors standing throughout my High Schools, I look forward to expanding my knowledge in a post-secondary atmosphere. As I am interested in medical school I have taken a small step into the medical world through lifeguarding; and I know I can withstand the constant challenges of Forensic Pathology. Lifeguarding has allowed me to see how I work under pressure and see how accurate I am in recalling important details while under a-- very intimidating-- time limit.
The role of a Forensic technician varies in many different directions and the process for each evidence material is a huge part in the criminal justice system. What Forensic Technicians do is the base and a huge impact on everyone else’s job, including the investigator and the labs. Forensic technicians analyze, collect data and preserve the evidence found at the scene, whether its bloods, hair, clothing etc. Forensic science technicians help investigators untangle the circumstances surrounding a crime, accident or other unexplained incident. Forensic technicians scour the scene for evidence suggesting a possible suspect, murder weapon or cause of death, they report their findings to the detectives in charge of an investigation and also perform
Will need to have majored or taken courses in some of the following: forensic science, biology, forensic biology, anatomy, and/or chemistry
The career that I researched was forensic pathology. The job of a pathologist is to determine a person’s cause of death by examining tissues and fluids from the body. A forensic pathologist does this as well, but they are trained to examine people who died unexpectedly or violently and to recognize other things that a regular pathologist might not, such as recognizing something as intentional rather than accidental. They have to determine who the person is, the time of death, the manner of death, and if it was accidental, the instruments which caused the death.
Crime scene investigation and medical examiner television shows are always interesting and exciting to watch, but what happens when you make the contents of that television show your life? Often times, the one you see doing the investigating with not only the body at the scene, but also inspecting the body of the victim in their exam room is called the Forensic Pathologist. A Forensic Pathologist is often called to the scenes where a death has occurred so that they can legally gather information and observations so that they can proceed with the investigation. For example, they will try to find the time of death. It is very important that the forensic pathologist be contacted very early on in the investigation, due to the amount of evidence that needs to be overlooked. Forensic pathologists are educated as physicians, and are also licensed for the practice of medicine. Regional tests are given, which means that if you decide to move at any time after taking the regional test, you will be required to take it again if you move to a new state. Autopsies are a daily occurrence, and the goal of the forensic pathologist is to recreate the series of events that led up to the death of the victim.
