Presentation: Forensic Pathology/ Autopsies    Final

Objective: Students will know what a forensic pathologist does, the meaning of a forensic pathologist. Students will also learn some of the differences between the real forensic pathologist and from the ones on t.v.  If needed I will tell students about my service learning place.


This lesson will be broken down into three sections:

What the words Forensic pathology and autopsy mean.
            * what Forensic Pathology is and what they do.
2.    What some of the differences are from the pathologists on t.v. and the real         pathologist is.        
3.    where i'm going to do service learning.


Section 1.    

I will start with asking the question is anyone knows what a forensic pathologist is.

*Define Forensic Pathology.
                     -Derived from Latin root word Forensis= forum
              - Pathology=

 Forensic Pathology is a branch of Pathology that determines the cause of a sudden or unexpected death. After the cause of death is discovered most pathologists are used as witnesses to testify in courts. The way they determine the cause of death is by conducting a post mortem examination or an autopsy.

*Define Autopsy
                      - Comes from the ancient Greek word Autopsia
              -    Auto=One self        Opsis= Eye     Autopsia= see for oneself

Section 2.

Start talking about the crime scene shows on t.v. like C.S.I.  and others. Tell the students how the media shows people how pathologists are.

*name examples: One guy is most of the focus and he is the one that solves everything from  fingerprints to wounds and other things. Show them that a case  involves many people not just the detective or pathologist.


Section 3.

* Talk about my service learning place. What I will get to do.
        - different modules every 2 weeks.
