What balance of permanent and contracted forensic pathology staffing should Fresno pursue?

The jury recommends budgeting to recruit and retain a full-time pathologist. Residents can discuss how staffing options should balance continuity, recruitment constraints and costs; the recommendation does not establish that a particular staffing model has already succeeded.

Why this matters

Stable specialized staffing supports dependable death investigations and service to families.
