While each of the 56 Montana county coroner's offices are the primary agency responsible for death investigation in their respective county, handling all scene investigation and direct communication regarding the death with families, law enforcement, and other interested parties, the medical examiners can assume jurisdiction on any death if necessary. The Forensic Science Division and Montana Medical Examiner's office provide support for the entire state through two locations\: Missoula, MT (main office) and Billings, MT (satellite office). When fully staffed, the medical examiner's office has one chief medical examiner (located in Billings) and three deputy medical examiners (two in Missoula and one in Billings).

Missoula has numerous restaurants, four golf courses, a fantastic farmer's market during the summer days, and the Snowbowl ski area, which is just on the outskirts of town. It is located along the Clark Fork River in Western Montana at the convergence of five mountain ranges, sometimes called “the hub of five valleys.” Hiking to the “M” on Mt. Sentinel at the edge of the University of Montana campus provides a beautiful view of the area as well as good exercise. Missoula is bike friendly and has a very active downtown area. Within an easy driving distance (about 1 hour) there are two other ski hills and numerous hiking opportunities, including all along the Bitterroot Valley just south of town. Within 2 hours driving distance are Glacier National Park and Flathead Lake, which is one of the largest naturally occurring bodies of freshwater in the western United States, and one of the cleanest lakes in the world. JOB DESCRIPTION: The Deputy Medical Examiner will perform less than the NAME (National Association of Medical Examiners) allowed number of autopsies per year (for reference, in 2024, the Chief Medical Examiner performed 299 autopsies, and the three Deputy Medical Examiners averaged 180 autopsies each; however, caseloads can fluctuate). With rare exceptions at the discretion of the pathologist, autopsies are not performed on weekends or holidays. In addition to autopsies, the Deputy Medical Examiner will provide consultation and education to the coroners, assist with continued accreditation efforts as necessary, and present autopsy findings in court, both criminal court and coroner inquests. Assisting the medical examiners are four experienced autopsy assistants (two in each office, one full and one part-time) and an ABMDI certified coroner liaison, who handles much daily communication with the coroners and assists with their education.
