Can medical examiners prescribe medications?

Medical examiners are physicians (M.D. or D.O.) who have also completed a three to four year post-doctoral residency in pathology at a major U.S. medical center.

As physicians licenced to practice medicine and surgery, they are authorized to prescribe medications. However, it isn't likely that physicians who specifically choose to become Medical Examiners would ever use their prescription privilege, since their "patients" are no longer among the living.
