How do I get a job doing autopsies?

To work as an autopsy technician or pathologist, you typically need a relevant degree such as a medical degree for pathologists or a mortuary science degree for autopsy technicians, along with state licensure or certification. Gaining experience in a medical or forensic environment and developing skills in anatomy, pathology, and laboratory procedures are essential steps in pursuing this career.
