Residents participate in a one-month rotation at the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office during the latter part of the program. As one can imagine, this office handles all manner of cases a Medical Examiners office may encounter. Residents participate not only in autopsies, but have an opportunity to go to an on-scene investigation during their rotation. Gross and microscopic pathology are covered, and follow-up of cases is provided. Approximately 25 autopsies are performed during this month, ensuring an overall adequate number of autopsies for board eligibility.
