"Become a pathologist with an online University of Phoenix degree!"

I think they are saying they can give you the prerequisites for going to med school to become a pathologist, but I can't really tell.

I like this:
Medical Examiners are often known as coroners who specialize in pathology. There are two types of medical examiners: Forensic pathologists work with bodies of victims to help solve crimes, and anatomical pathologists work to identify cause of death from disease and illnesses.

Whoever wrote this obviously knows what they are talking about.

That is for sure. That is basically a mishmash of terms thrown together hoping that it comes out sounding appropriate. I can guarantee you no pathologist was consulted on that statement.

"It can take up to 16 years to complete the schooling necessary to become a medical examiner. Not unlike the requirements of a coroner, a medical examiner must first obtain a bachelor's degree in a related health or science field. After that, medical examiners must go on to pursue a doctorate degree and get licensed in pathology."

Not sure what's so wrong with that page... drama queens.

"Up to" 16 years is right, word was some 18 year old kid was elected the local coroner somewhere in the midwest'ish. I believe their only requirement was a high school diploma/GED. (Though the only documented report I see like that right now is a kid still in high school in Indiana working as a deputy coroner under her father.)

This U. Phoenix thing is a word salad, evidently based in part perhaps on confusing coroner, lay medical examiner, physician medical examiner, non-medical pathologist (which may require no real degree at all since it's not a controlled term), and physician pathologist. I.e., their problem is partly our failure to control the terminology, certifications, and degrees, and to establish nationally followed standards for death investigation. (There's no real motivation for a local government to follow existing "recommendations" from NAME or other various major reports over the years, including the recent National Academy of Science report on the topic.)

I would request more information from U. Phoenix regarding this opportunity, but they seem to require picking a degree program, none of which are called "medical examiner." I don't get it.

You forgot the most likely culprit ... speech pathologist.

That is a "type" of pathologist? right?
It has the word pathologist right there...
