Why PCOM?
PCOM is conveniently located on City Avenue, just minutes from the city and the suburbs. PCOM offers the only forensic medicine programs in the region. Students learn through a combination of classroom, online and hands-on training, which prepares them for a successful career in the field. Our graduates have the opportunity to work in a variety of professions including death and crime scene investigation, forensic investigation, forensic nursing, coroner, sexual assault examiner and insurance examiner.
The Pathway Program in Forensic Medicine is designed for individuals who have an undergraduate degree and who wish to enter a full master's degree program but lack a background in the sciences. This 14 week program provides that science foundation for master's degree enrollment.
It is a 14-week (May-August), intensive program, that provides a solid foundation in biology, human anatomy and physiology as related to forensic medicine. Upon successful completion of the program, students will be prepared to transition into PCOM's Master of Science in Forensic Medicine Program.
Typically, our enrolled students have backgrounds as:
- Criminal Investigators
- Coroners
- Law Enforcement Professionals
- Social Workers
- Attorneys
Work experience is not necessarily required to enter the program and we do accept recent college graduates.
