DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Department of Public Health has filled the position of state medical examiner with a doctor who has been in the position on an interim basis.
Agency Director Gerd Clabaugh announced Friday that Dr. Dennis Klein had accepted the position, which became open when Dr. Julia Goodin resigned in January to take a similar job in Tennessee.
Clabaugh says that since joining the medical examiner office in 2000, Klein has been involved with many death investigations and forensic autopsies.
