Schools with forensic dental programs?

Just curious here...

Does anyone know of dental schools that offer experiences in forensic dentistry (ideally to DDS/DMD students)? This could range from a few faculty member(s) with backgrounds in forensics who offer some elective training to students, or a school with a full-blown forensic post-doc residency program.

I think it might be fun to explore that avenue.

I am sure you might be able to speak with someone about opportunities in dental schools. But more likely you are going to have to get involved with a Medical Examiners office. They have Odontologist. I am sure you have to spend a year or so training with them and then you can sit for a board exam or something. But I doubt you can get any FORMAL training in or during dental school. Just google it and I am sure you can find what you are looking for.
