The Career of a Coroner
Careers range from many categories that everyone chooses; within those categories, there are more jobs that are specific. People have the freedom to choose their own career path. That is why I chose to take the medical pathway. I really enjoy the show CSI and other crime shows with coroners in them. Coroners, also called medical examiners or forensic pathologists, are doctors who investigate the cause of death of deceased persons and create official documentation of their findings (learn.org). Although these shows are only for the entertainment, I have researched this career and am still interested in becoming a coroner. This research paper includes responsibilities
There are only two levels, but it is extremely important to know what they mean. A Coroner Investigator I is a flexible position and may advance with a satisfactory probationary period to become coroner investigator II.

This is the medical examiners job. However, because it is a small occupation, the fast growth will result in only about 3,800 new jobs over the 10-year period (Summary.). Every year technology advances, accounting for a major work growth making the job significantly easier and more conclusive. States having just a state medical examiner is a more advanced system than having it by the county. With this system, medical examiners are more experienced, but cause less jobs in this field. The future of a coroner’s job will be beneficial to them for deaths are a general aspect of life. Deaths including suicides, homicides, and accidents happen multiple times of the average day. Computers will advance that will be able to analyze paper work with few notes medical examiners manually put in. Although there will be lost jobs because coroner offices are being cut down to two
