Forensic medicine training in Tunisia.
Forensic medicine is a specialty new to Tunisia since local teams started working in this field only 3 decades ago. Forensic medicine departments are now established in university hospitals, associated with the four national faculties of medicine. Medical undergraduate education includes forensic medicine as part of the curriculum because of the current lack of forensic physicians and the need for practitioners with some training in this field. Specialization is achieved by a 4-year full-training residency, including both forensic pathology and medicine. The undergraduate and postgraduate education programmes are described.
