Do you or a loved one enjoy CSI, NCIS, Bones, and other forensic science television shows?
Do you or a loved one have a desire to help others and protect people?
Do you or a loved one enjoy math, science, and challenging things?
If you answered “yes” to the above questions and want to learn more about what we do here at Western Slope Laboratory, then perhaps a career in the forensic sciences, like forensic toxicology, is right for you. To help persons learn about the fields of forensic science and what path they must take to obtain a position in one of these fields, the American Academy of Forensic Sciences has partnered with the Council for Forensic Science Educators to develop a web series to provide information on how to get into a career in the forensic sciences.
