Total cost. The price paid for a security plus the broker's commission and any accrued interest that is owed to the seller (in the case of a bond).
If you want to become a medical examiner, you must earn a medical degree (M.D.). Once you have earned your medical degree, you can seek out knowledge in a pathology residency. Following your residency, you'll sub-specialize in a forensic pathology fellowship.
Medical examiners determine the cause of unexpected or violent deaths. The path to becoming a medical examiner is extensive, and requires 8 to 12 years of education after high school. Start early on, as soon as high school, and continue to stay focused throughout the rest of your career path.
