This , we are sharing our second feature in our “The Scalpel is Passed” collection from 2019 - “A Conversation with Dr. Marcella Fierro,” by Dr. James W. Fulcher.

Dr. Fierro is the former Chief Medical Examiner of Virginia from 1994 to 2008 and the ninth woman certified in forensic pathology by the American Board of Pathology. She has been a consultant to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Task Force on National Crime Investigation Center, Unidentified Persons and Missing Persons Files, Washington D.C., since 1983.

Dr. Fierro has served on the Editorial Board of AJFMP since 1979 and is also the inspiration behind protagonist Kay Scarpetta in Patricia Cornwell’s crime novels.

A while back, I considered a career in forensic pathology after spending a month-long medical school elective at the Dallas Medical Examiner’s department.

Forensic pathologists play key roles in many areas of public health, including mass casualty events and disease or drug epidemics, and in the justice system. They also act as bridges to families of deceased persons and society.
