Pennsylvania State Coroners’ Education Board

The Coroners’ Education Board, housed in the Office of Attorney General, provides the Basic Education Course which all newly elected coroners are required to attend prior to assuming office.  Chief deputies and full-time deputies are required to attend the Basic Education Course within six months of appointment.  The Board also authorizes courses as acceptable for fulfillment of the eight credit hours of continuing education required annually of all coroners and full-time deputies.
