TRAINING IN FORENSIC HISTOPATHOLOGY-SIGNIFICANCE IN POSTGRADUATE CURRICULUM OF FORENSIC MEDICINE

Abstract

Padmini Hannah Noone1

ABSTRACT: Forensic medicine is a vast subject. Forensic histopathology is a part of it which lies between pathology and forensic medicine. There is a disparity in the training of forensic histopathology provided globally in the postgraduate curricula. While some countries provide years of training some give a few months to train the same. Adequate training would be beneficial to medico legal practitioners and it helps to use histopathology wisely. My perspective in developing histopathology in the department of forensic medicine in the backdrop of experience of previous researchers is being discussed.
