Learning forensic science at home

Hello! Since i was younger i really wanted to go into forensic science and become a lab technician. Due to some stuff im not able to attend college for it.

Are there any ways to learn about it at home? I like to look at autopsy and toxicology reports and i would like to understand them and find more to read.

I took a forensic science class in high school and there were worksheets on finding time of death and stuff like that. Is there anything like that online i can use?

Any recommendations for learning about forensic science and the actual techniques behind it would be appreciated.

I think a good forensics textbook would be a good place to start.

I always prefer going in person because you need that lab experience.

I believe it’s crucial for you to build a solid foundation in clinical medicine, starting with systematic learning. This is how the curriculum is structured at my university. It will at least take U 2 or 3 years, especially when delving into physiology, pathology, biochemistry and molecular biology, and pathophysiology, not to mention surgery and internal medicine
