Career outlook
Clinical forensic medicine encompasses a wide range of activities at the interface of medical practice and law. The range of medico-legal services overlap many other medical specialty areas; paediatrics, 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 the other medical specialties including general practice.
