My program is “Histochemistry and Forensic Anthropology.” It explores the study of the identification of injury and disease through examination of evidence gathered by forensic anthropological and histochemical techniques. The program also emphasizes the underlying physical and chemical processes at the foundation of anatomy and physiology and stresses a cellular approach to pathology.
After obtaining an undergraduate degree, I plan to pursue a medical degree through either an accelerated three-year program or a traditional four-year path and complete a residency in pathology. I wish to become a certified forensic pathologist and handle obscure autopsies, second autopsies, and exhumation autopsies where traditional medical examination does not yield results.
