INTRO: Unveiling the Mystery
Hi! I’m Yajaira, a first-generation student from BASIS Prescott. A few of my interests are Human Anatomy, Forensics, and Mental Health. For my senior project, I wanted to do something where all three of my interests intersect, which led me to an internship with a medical examiner’s office.
Have you ever wondered what happens at a medical examiner’s office? If so, this is the blog for you. My passion for Forensic Pathology was ignited after taking my 6th-grade biology class. Taking the class made me realize how complex and beautiful human anatomy is. I have been inspired ever since to continue researching the topic of Forensic Pathology. To gain hands-on experience about the topic, I will be shadowing at the Pinal County Medical Examiner’s office, to gain more knowledge about what happens in a Medical Examiner’s Office. During my internship there, I will gain experience through hands-on opportunities and observations where I hope to unveil misconceptions, figure out the process behind establishing the prognosis, and encourage others to discover what it is like going into the forensic pathology field. There is a large shortage of Medical Examiners currently so I hope that this research may inspire more people to look more deeply into this field as a future career path.
