The Power List 2021 – Behind the Scenes
Erica is a pathologists’ assistant (PA) at NorthShore University HealthSystem; Deputy Medical Examiner, Kenosha County Medical Examiner’s Office; Instructor in Forensic Pathology, Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science; and Forensic Pathology Module Director, Tulane University School of Medicine. Starting with an internship in forensic anthropology, she found her interests lay in forensic autopsy and followed the path to PA. She notes, “There aren’t many opportunities for PAs to work in forensics, let alone in autopsy.” Erica’s most unexpected career moments come “anytime a case I am involved in ends up in a true crime podcast or on the news!”
