Dr. Odette Hall Bio:
I am a native of New York City, born and raised in Jamaica Queens. My dream to become a doctor began with a desire to help people and make a difference in their lives during some of their most vulnerable moments. Unbeknownst to me at the beginning of that journey, the dream would come to fruition as a Forensic Pathologist.
My path took me through a Bachelor of Science degree from Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia in 1996; a doctor of Medicine degree from the State University of New York at Downstate in Brooklyn, New York in 2002; a residency program in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology at the University of California at Irvine in Anaheim, California in 2006; a subspecialty fellowship in Pediatric Pathology at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2007; a subspecialty fellowship in Forensic Pathology at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of the City of New York in New York, New York in 2008; and a selective fellowship in Forensic Cardiovascular Pathology and Forensic Neuropathology in 2009, also at the Office of Chief Medical Examiner of the City of New York.
I joined the Suffolk County Medical Examiner's Office in 2009 and have been here since, save for one year spent back at the OCME New York in 2014. I took the position of Deputy Chief Medical Examiner in March of 2019, and look forward to the ongoing evolution of my journey, as I assume the position of Chief Medical Examiner of Suffolk County New York. In that elusive thing called downtime, I am recharged by meditation, spending time with my family and friends, and planning home improvement projects.
