This course is designed for those with a medical degree and at least three years clinical medicine experience who wish to develop the practitioner skills required to provide clinical forensic services to the community.
Students complete any three units offered within the forensic medicine program. Graduates will have developed a broad knowledge of medico-legal principles and a range of practical skills specific to the studies chosen.
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.
