Abstract
The performance of the autopsy is the major procedural skill of the forensic pathologist. It is expected that trainees enter forensic pathology with a basic foundation in the principles and practice of autopsy pathology; however, declining hospital autopsy rates have translated into resident trainees having limited autopsy experiences. Thus, the educator in forensic pathology must also often teach basic human anatomy and autopsy skills prior to any attempt to convey the procedural and cognitive skills specialized to the performance of the forensic autopsy. With advances in technology such as postmortem genetic testing and imaging modalities, training programs must also evolve to accommodate the changing needs of trainees for the future practice of forensic pathology. A number of recommendations are put forth to assist the educator in the teaching of the forensic autopsy.
