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. Go here for more information about summer internships.
