My instinct was to go for "Forensic scientist", but I decided to check it, and every source I've found has given me a different option (forensic scientist, forensic, coroner, forensic surgeon, expert in forensic medicine, medical expert...). Coroner would be logical as the context is "career options" for graduates of a degree in Criminology, but is it correct?

Comment: "Thanks again. Your references are always useful. If anyone's wondering why I'm selecting her answer rather than the other, she was only 1 min. later, so I'm 99% certain she didn't see the other answer and it takes a good minute to find and copy and paste the references. I decided her answer was right after consulting the following: http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/omd?query=coroner&action=Search+OMD
It seems to fit in with the context (career options for graduates in Criminology, not for people with intensive training in medicine or science). "Medical examiner" seems to be the US usage."

forensic pathologist
Hola Timothy
El médico forense es aquí en USA (y en UK también) el "forensic pathologist". Este título se confunde a menudo con el de "coroner", que es un título no médico sino policial.
Suerte
Elena
What is a forensic pathologist?
The forensic pathologist is a subspecialist in pathology whose area
of special competence is the examination of persons who die
sudden, unexpected or violent death. The forensic pathologist is an expert in determining cause and manner of death. The **forensic pathologist** is specially trained: to perform autopsies to determine the presence or absence of disease, injury or poisoning; to evaluate historical and law-enforcement investigative information relating to manner of death; to collect medical evidence, such as trace evidence and secretions, to document sexual assault; and to reconstruct how a person received injuries....

m�dico forense
medical examiner
Another option besides coroner
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 3 hrs 35 mins (2004-09-21 02:01:00 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
Upon reflection ... coroner is not a good choice, since a coroner may not be a physician, and his role may be more administrative (investigative, co-ordinating, etc.)
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 3 hrs 37 mins (2004-09-21 02:02:55 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
By the way, this is USA usage
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 14 hrs 30 mins (2004-09-21 12:56:43 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
Even though in practice medical examiners (more like a job title) are typically forensic pathologists (a medical specialty), the translation by E. Sgarbossa may be less controversial.
Playing devil\'s advocate, what about this? In the original country the typical situation is prob as in many others that a physician who wants to take the \"death business\" route choses that as his specialty and goes to work at the local morgue afterwards (using plainer, old fashioned language); in the USA, he may have a narrower specialty and/or technical job. Then, and given supporting context and register, medical examiner might actually be the more accurate transl, besides being more readily understood by the general public.
Anyway, I learned something here. Thanks.
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 14 hrs 43 mins (2004-09-21 13:08:59 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
Also note the DRAE definition of médico forense, quoted by C Loren in her suggestion. I would say it applies more closely to the job (in the \"justicia\") of a medical examiner than to the broad medical field. This is the feeling I had, but could not quite put my finger on. Now, everything converges to USA ways, I guess, so the DRAE may be outdated in this, or about to become outdated. (So what else is new?)
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 15 hrs 6 mins (2004-09-21 13:32:09 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
Another interesting (and poss relevant) question: is there a reasonably consistent diference anywhere between the usage of \"médico forense\" and that of \"médico legista\"? The medical specialty seems to always be called medicina forense.
