Postgraduate education in clinical forensic medicine: a graduate diploma.
The absence of a formal postgraduate course has had a significant impact on the development of clinical forensic medicine. Increasing scrutiny by the criminal justice system and recognition of the specialized nature of the work have led to the need for an academic basis for the discipline. Monash University in Victoria, has developed a course leading to a Graduate Diploma in Forensic Medicine. Combining principles and practice taught largely by distance education methods, the programme will enhance practitioners' knowledge and skills in clinical forensic medicine.
