Consultations in subspecialty areas, including neuropathology, pediatric pathology, forensic odontology, and forensic radiology, are readily available within the UNC Schools of Medicine and Dentistry.
The fellow participates fully in all duties of the central office of a state-wide medical examiner system, including medical examiner training, quality assurance by review of all medical examiner cases submitted to the OCME, scene investigations, and court appearances. The fellow is expected to manage his/her own cases and to seek assistance as needed. All autopsy examinations are performed under the supervision of board-certified forensic pathologists. These cases represent a wide spectrum of natural and traumatic causes of death. The trainee performs 200–250 forensic autopsies during the one-year fellowship. The OCME also functions as the Division of Forensic Pathology in the UNC Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. The OCME is located in Raleigh and is a branch of the North Carolina Division of Public Health, Department of Health and Human Services. The program is fully accredited by the ACGME and is under the direction of the Chief Medical Examiner of the State of North Carolina. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME), in conjunction with UNC Hospitals and the UNC Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, offers a one-year fellowship in forensic pathology.
