The residency training in forensic pathology involves practical (On-the-job) experience supervised by trained forensic pathologist. The forensic pathology resident actually performs autopsies and participates in death investigation. To become certified, one then must pass an examination given by the American Board of Pathology certifying special competence in forensic pathology.
