Deputy State Medical Examiners are stationed in the Portland metro area (Clackamas), Eugene area, and Central Point, Oregon. Forensic pathologists at the State Medical Examiner’s Clackamas location currently perform all medical legal autopsies for Northwestern, Eastern, and Central Oregon; however, a significant expansion of our program and other work facilities is underway.
