Today was a truly special day as the new Knox County Regional Forensic Center was officially dedicated in honor of Dr. Darinka Mileusnic.

We are incredibly grateful and proud to have Dr. Mileusnic as part of our team. Her dedication to forensic medicine, her unwavering commitment to the families and communities she serves, and the compassion she brings to some of the most difficult moments imaginable are truly unmatched.

Dr. Mileusnic is not only an exceptional physician and leader, but someone who has made an incredible impact on our department, our residents, and the countless families she has served throughout her career. She is, quite simply, the best, and there is no one more deserving of this honor.

Congratulations, Dr. Mileusnic! We are so proud of you and the legacy you continue to build.

Playing catch-up, but we couldn’t miss the opportunity to recognize Dr. Christie Estrada (PGY3)! 👏

In February, Dr. Estrada attended the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) Annual Meeting, where she presented research she completed alongside our Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Darinka Mileusnic, at the Knox County Regional Forensic Center. Their poster, “Drug Overdose Deaths in Knox County, Tennessee, Adults 65 and Over: A Retrospective Study,” highlighted important forensic research impacting our community.

And this feels like the perfect time to also congratulate Dr. Estrada on successfully matching into a Forensic Pathology Fellowship with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation! 🎉

We are so excited to watch your passion for forensic pathology continue to grow. Congratulations, Dr. Estrada!🔬
