What do Legal Medicine MD/DO Physicians do?
Legal Medicine is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the intersection of law and medicine.
Historically, the practice of legal medicine contributed to medicine as a scientific tool for solving criminal perplexities.
Since World War II, the domain of legal medicine has broadened to include not only medical science aspects for solving legal and criminal problems but also legal aspects as they apply to medicine.
Legal Medicine continues to grow as medicolegal issues such as medical malpractice and liability, government regulation of health care, tort reform, and the moral and ethical complexities presented by technological advances become increasingly prominent.
Many medical schools have implemented courses that supply medicolegal instruction for medical students, and many law schools now offer medicolegal courses.
Also, dual degree programs in law and medicine have been established to help physicians bridge the gap between medicine and the law.
