Education:

A forensic pathologist must first earn a bachelor's degree, then a medical degree, either an M.D. or D.O. Extensive additional education and training is required, including four to five years of training in anatomic, clinical and/or forensic pathology and a one-year residency or fellowship in forensic pathology.

Reflection:

I would not like to become a pathologist because it's too much education required. I would have to get 2 degrees and then after that more school.
