Loan Repayment Programs Support Forensic Pathologist Workforce

October 04, 2021

The practice of forensic pathology is a noble calling to serve the public good, the government, and the local community as a vital part of the criminal justice and public health systems, namely, medical death investigation. 

To be a board-certified forensic pathologist, a candidate must complete an undergraduate degree, medical school training, followed by several years in pathology residency and then a fellowship in forensic pathology. This can cost, on average, $250,000. To increase the forensic pathology workforce, there are several loan repayment programs that forensic pathologists can apply for to reduce debt or loans while making the transition to practice a decision based on passion rather than finance.
