"Unpaid internships at the Arapahoe County Coroner's Office (ACCO) are available in limited numbers for undergraduate (junior and senior level) and postgraduate students in appropriate fields of study. High school students are not accepted for internships. We do not accept community members for shadowing or volunteer experience due to the confidential nature of our work."

The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner offers shadowing opportunities as well as internship programs in investigations, autopsy support, and family advocacy.
The Forensic Autopsy Technician Internship Program is dedicated to preparing students for future employment within the forensic field. This program is structured similar to a collegiate course with a set syllabus, suggested reading, lectures, evaluations and assessments. Interns accepted are evaluated for continuation after the first semester as one year of training is not guaranteed. Interns will learn evisceration techniques, proper chain of custody when handling evidence, data entry and all aspects of the role of an autopsy technician. |
Other Opportunities

The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner and NCR instituted this unique program to establish a volunteer force to assist in the medicolegal investigation of human remains in the event of a mass casualty event."
