Coroner positions are elected positions. You do not have to have or hold any specific degree in order to obtain a coroner position. It's honestly a matter of getting elected, which is much easier said than done.
Some places have replaced coroner positions with Medical Examiners and you must hold a medical degree in order to obtain this position. In essence, a medical examiner is a job where certain qualifications must be met as opposed to a coroner who is elected by the voters.
