Working Environment

         A forensic pathologist must be able to work in a variety of environments, and still be able to produce quality results regardless of circumstances. According to Barry Franklin of ForensicsColleges.com, the goal of forensic pathology is to "help solve a criminal case such as a suspected murder or suicide, and also to determine if a case should even be considered as a criminal case". In order to do this, they must be able  to adapt quickly. Forensic pathologists not only work in the lab, but in active crime scenes, and may even have to testify in court. They mostly work in either private labs, hospitals, or morgues and often work extremely long hours.
