Career outlook

Clinical forensic medicine encompasses a wide range of activities at the interface of medico-legal practice and law. The range of medico-legal services may overlap many other medical specialty areas; paediatric, gynaecology, clinical toxicology, emergency medicine, psychiatry, dentistry and pathology. However, the discipline of clinical forensic medicine has become the home of the special issues inherent in traffic medicine and custodial medicine, or in other medical specialties including general practice.
