Education
The Ada County Coroner’s Office strives to be an educational presence in the community. Not only does the office provide classes to local schools and science camps, but also participates in community events. With the rising interest in medical careers, many high schools request the Ada County Coroner’s Office staff to present and discuss forensics, investigations and pathology. Presentations include a firsthand perspective of these fields and related career paths.
The office also has longstanding partnerships with local universities, supplementing the criminal justice curriculum with an engaging view of forensics and fieldwork. Over time, this relationship led to the development of a mutually beneficial internship program.
The Ada County Coroner’s Office regularly is afforded the opportunity to present a variety of classes to multiple groups in addition to providing tours of the office itself. Please see below for a sample of presentations we have offered in the past.
