The
Department of Pathology at the University of New Mexico is seeking three, full
time, forensic pathologists at an Open Rank on the Clinician Educator Track, to
join our board-certified forensic pathologists at the New Mexico Office of the
Medical Investigator. These individuals will perform medicolegal and hospital
autopsies, teach medical students, pathology residents and forensic pathology
fellows, and will be encouraged to develop a program of scholarly inquiry.
The
Office of the Medical Investigator is a statewide, centralized, academically
based medicolegal death investigative agency for New Mexico. This agency investigates approximately 7,000
of the 18,000 deaths that occur each year in New Mexico and performs
approximately 2,000 autopsies and 2,500 whole body CT exams each year. The office has been NAME accredited since
1976. When fully staffed, the
pathologist's caseload is compliant with NAME phase I standards. Detailed death investigation data
(1977-present) is recorded in an electronic database. The office occupies a state-of-the-art
facility completed in 2010 including a fully Biosafety Level-3 autopsy
laboratory that houses both CT and MR Scanners. New faculty will be trained in the
incorporation of imaging technology into daily practice. The office has faculty providing expertise in
neuropathology, anthropology, odontology, epidemiology, radiology and forensic
imaging. The OMI forensic pathology
fellowship program has 4 slots/year and has trained 100 fellows who are in
practice throughout the US and internationally.
