We have to travel to court to testify on our cases. So State Forensic Pathologists travel all over their State, which is pretty fun in places like Alaska or New Mexico that have state offices. But if you work in just one county, then you just get to travel to the county court house. Some Forensic Pathologists get to go to the crime scenes, which involves travel, but not very far. We get to travel when we go to Forensic Pathology conferences for continuing medical education, which are held all over the country. Consultant Forensic Pathologists, who review cases on a private basis, usually for attorneys to help them with their cases, get to review cases from all over the country and many times travel to that place when it becomes time to give their opinion in court.
Alot.
Forensic Pathologists have the responsibility of determining a specific cause of death to a human being.
about 3 1/2 weeks
Forensic pathologists, physicians who complete a residency in anatomic pathology and a fellowship in forensic pathology, in public service (i.e. work for a state, county or city MEs office) make between approximately 10,000 - 20,000 per month, depending on experience level, community, and other factors. Some forensic pathologists work privately doing private autopsies and/or testifying in court as expert witnesses. Some do very well financially doing this.
Forensic scientists search for PROOF. Forensic pathologists search for cause of death, forensic firemen search for causes of fires, especially arson. The main thing is proof for legal reasons.
Forensic anthropologists can help identify remains that are in an advanced stage of decomposition. They often work with forensic pathologists in determining cause of death.

Becoming a forensic pathologist is not easy.It takes a minimum of 13 years education and training after high school to become a forensic pathologist. It also takes a strong stomach because it can be a gruesome,smelly and disgusting job.

A forensic pathologist can give information about the remains of bodies found in archaeological sites. For instance, they can sometimes determine cause and age of death, and can shed light on an individual's health and lifestyle.
Yes, forensic scientists travel all over the world. Many times they are used in court cases and will travel to testify.
