College of Medicine

Facilities

In 2022, the office investigated nearly 2,000 deaths, performed almost 1,000 autopsies, and more than 100 external examinations. The successful candidate will be mentored by a team of four full-time doctors and several visiting doctors (locum tenens). The office is staffed by an exceptional group of employees with diverse educational backgrounds and interests but a shared passion for offering quality forensic services to the community. The District One Team consists of 7 full-time medicolegal death investigators (the majority are ABMDI certified), 5 forensic autopsy technicians, a full-time transcriptionist, and an executive assistant dedicated to physician support. A board-certified Forensic Anthropologist is on staff at the nearby University of West Florida and available for consultation. A board-certified neuropathologist rotates regularly through the office for brain examinations. 

The primary offices are in Pensacola, Florida, with the administration annex a short commute from the off-site morgue (Sacred Heart Hospital). The morgue has 4 autopsy stations with hydraulic, fully adjustable autopsy carts, and each station is equipped with the latest technology, including large touch screen monitors for viewing nearly life-size high-resolution digital x-rays and iPads for diagraming digitally, voice-to-text dictation, and/or digitally signing reports remotely. A LODOX is in operation to support the daily workload.   A brand-new medical examiner’s facility is planned, with an expected completion date of 3-4 years.
