Anthropology, Death Investigations, Mortuary, Digital Imaging, and Toxicology interns are exposed to bio-hazardous material. Therefore, an interagency agreement between OCME staff and the intern’s academic institution must be established before the start of the internship. Once an intern is selected, OCME will work with the intern’s academic institution to establish an interagency agreement. If the OCME and the academic institution cannot establish an interagency agreement, the intern will not be permitted to participate in the program.
