There are eight medical examiner positions and only half are filled. Now, administrators are having to take time from their work to fill in the gaps.
Peine said hiring new medical examiners is challenging because only 40 board-certified medical examiners graduate from their fellowship every year across the US.“Everybody is rushing up to them and wants to hire them. So basically, they can pick and choose wherever they want to go,” Peine said.
A Bexar County medical examiner could earn up to $300,000 a year. Compared to Tarrant County, at $375,000. Commissioners recently approved a stipend for the examiner’s extra workload, but the work can be emotionally taxing. “We all know that the office of the medical examiner has been through a lot, and that is simply because we had two mass casualty events in quick succession,” Peine said.Camelia Juarez is a news reporter at KSAT 12.
