Also: remember to never use "coroner" in a U.S. context, only UK, because most U.S. jurisdictions allow non-physicians to serve in this capacity.

Education
Attaining the right credential is the first step in embarking on a new career in forensic medicine. What kind of forensic medicine you wish to practice will determine what credential is the best. For example, to work as a medical examiner or forensic physician you will have to earn a medical degree, which can take over 7 years to complete (including undergraduate education). Many forensic medicine professionals have earned an Associates Degree in Forensic Medicine, supplemented with work experience. If you want to work as a forensic nurse or a physician’s assistant, there are both B.S. and M.S. programs that will equip you with the necessary skills to begin professional life immediately after completing the coursework. To decide what degree track is correct for you, study the educational requirements for the area in which you are interested and investigate the time commitment necessary to complete the requisite coursework.

Forensic physicians (sometimes referred to as 'forensic medical examiners' or 'police surgeons' (in the UK until recently) are medical doctors trained in the examination of, and provision of medical treatment to, living victims of assault (including sexual assault) and those individuals who find themselves in police custody. Many forensic physicians in the UK practice clinical forensic medicine on a part-time basis, whilst they also practice family medicine, or another medical specialty.
