Online Degrees in Forensic Medicine

Forensic medicine combines medical care and law enforcement. Specialists in this field investigate crimes and offer treatment and legal advocacy to victims. Online degree programs in forensic medicine and nursing offer a range of options for career advancement in this fascinating field. Online certificates allow working medical professionals to transition into a forensics specialty. Higher level qualifications such as master's degrees prepare nurses and physician assistants to work in a medical examiner's office.

Coursework in forensic medicine can include forensic imaging, pathology, crime scene investigation, major case investigation, evidence, bioethics, and criminal investigation analysis. Specialized training is available in traffic injury, forensic science, sexual assault, pediatric forensic medicine, genetics, and forensic psychiatry. Forensic medicine graduates go on to careers such as Crime Lab Analyst, FBI Special Agent, Crime Scene Examiner, Police Detective, Medical Examiner, Private Investigator, Forensic Science Technician, and Researcher.

Job opportunities for forensic medicine specialists are projected to increase about as fast as average through 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Median earnings for technicians are about $40,356; forensic nurses and physician assistants can expect significantly more. Of course no education program can guarantee placement and earning potential, but the outlook for qualified forensic medicine specialists appears favorable.
