<p>Many people have told me that I should choose a pre-med program with a medical school in mind. Are any medical schools especially helpful to those looking for a career in forensic pathology?</p>

<li>It’s premature to settle on a medical specialty before you have exposure to them in medical school.</li>
<li>Forensic pathology is a subspecialty of general pathology. You’d need to complete medical school and do a residency before seeking out a training program in forensic pathology.
[National</a> Association of Medical Examiners - Forensic Pathology Training Programs](<a href=“http://thename.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=66&Itemid=76]National”>http://thename.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=66&Itemid=76)</li>
<li>I think that it’s simply misformation to say you should choose a pre-med program with a particular medical school in mind. Pre-med requirements are pretty generic across the wide range of undergraduate schools; it’d be pretty hard to differentiate those core general science courses as being specific to any particular medical school or future medical specialty.</li>
