Cam’s internship took place within the investigative section
of this unit, where he had the opportunity to respond to death scenes within
the unit’s jurisdiction. This unit
responds to suspicious deaths, the death of unidentified persons, any death
that was unattended by a physician, and any death in a hospital within 24 hours
of admission. During his time there, Cam
assisted in photographing and examining the decedents. He said, “It was a great
experience. I really learned a lot and could see myself working in the investigative section of a medical examiner’s unit in my career.”
The internship experience allows students to gain insight to the tasks that a forensic scientist performs on a daily basis. For more information about summer internships, please click here.
