STRENGTHS AND SHORTCOMINGS OF MEDICO-LEGAL EDUCATION IN ITALY: A NATIONAL MULTI-CENTRIC SURVEY
Abstract
Recent legal developments regarding the reorganization of and accreditation processes for
specialization schools in the healthcare sector has led to a profound didactic transformation that has
brought inevitable repercussions on the activities and training of post-graduate doctors. The
National Board of Young Medico-legal Experts in Italy (Consulta dei Giovani Medici Legali
Italiani) proposed a multi-centric survey of the current state of the profession and on the perceived
quality of schools of legal medicine in Italy. Data was collected by means of a dedicated
questionnaire in relation to the various areas of the training process, skill-development processes,
and the actual didactic activities carried out in legal medicine specialization schools in Italy. The
results of the survey have prompted various observations and proposals for improving the quality of
forensic and legal medicine programs in Italy
