The teaching of legal medicine in British medical schools.
In view of recent public anxiety concerning possible inadequacies in the field of legal medicine and ethics, a questionnaire survey was made of medical students, newly qualified housemen, medical school deans, coroners and medical defence and protection organizations. The results indicate that the teaching of legal medicine and ethics is insufficient, and a recommendation is made for an increase in such teaching.
