Example text
A number of death investigation offices now require their investigators to be ABMDI registered or certified. Death investigators are usually persons with backgrounds in nursing, emergency medical services, the funeral business, or law enforcement, such as police officers. Quite frequently they have taken up death investigation as a second career after having spent some time in another job.

There are only about 40 places in the country in which one can train in forensic pathology, with a total of approximately 70 positions available per year. Unfortunately, some of those positions are either unfunded or unfilled each year, meaning that every year, there are only about 35 to 40 board certified forensic pathologists produced.
