Brook’s Answer

I work with Seattle Police Department when I teach a class on Crime Scene Investigations. In addition to Megan's great answer, I suggest Chemistry! Chemistry is the foundational science for many of the forensic methods utilized by CSI and medical examiners. Knowing detection limits, and how methods work would make you an asset in any crime team.

Megan’s Answer

Hi Daniela,
Forensic Medicine would be like a Medical Examiner. You perform Autopsies on suspicious or sudden deaths. Typically this is a Medical doctor and requires a Bachelor's in Science, getting accepted and completing medical school. Performing a Residency in Pathology and finally a Fellowship with a Medical Examiner for a year. If that’s something that interests you I wish the best of luck to you.
