    Textbook and course materials

    Saukko P, Knight B. Knight’s forensic pathology. 4th ed., CRC Press, 2015Di Maio VJ, Di Maio D. Forensic pathology, 2nd ed., CRC Press, 2001Madea B. Handobook of Forensic Medicine, 2014

    Course objectives

    After attending the lectures, students will understand how to assess the death, how to do an external examination of a cadaver differentiating between the main types of injuries due to blunt trauma, firearms, knife or sharp objects, how to do an health surveillance, how to assess occupational diseases and prevent them based on the biological, chemical and biomechanical risks.

    Prerequisites

    In order to attend the course proficiently, the students will need to have a well- established background in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology, as specifically indicated by The Council of the Medicine and Surgery School.

    Teaching methods

    Lectures supported by presentation of slides in Power Point. representative case studies and
    key topics will be also supported by discussion and critical reading of the most recent reviews in the field

    Evaluation methods

    Evaluation of student proficiency is based on both written and oral test (viva voce) and will be done by two professors. The written test consists of multiple choice questions meant to evaluate the basic knowledge of occupational and legal medicine and the student’s ability to assess the death, to do an external examination differentiating between the main types of injuries (due to blunt trauma, firearms, knife or sharp objects), to assess the occupational diseases and prevent them based on the biological, chemical and biomechanical risks. The questions will be as specific to evaluate the basic knowledge of the above topics. In order to pass the written part of the exam and access to the viva voce, the student must obtain a score of 20.
    The oral exam will cover all the aspects of the theory of occupational and legal medicine. The student should be able to discuss on the topics and be able to connect and analyze the different subjects. The aim is to judge the knowledge as well as the critical opinion on the topic that the students should develop after the course.
    Moreover, the student must have a deep knowledge of the most common issues related to occupational and legal medicine being able to connect injuries and diseases to causal agents and risk factors (biological, chemical, environmental and biomechanical) and manner of production. In order to test the acquisition of this ability the student will be asked to solve simple clinical oriented problem, e.g recognize the occupational diseases based on clinical manifestation, recognize the cause and manner of death based on injuries and findings after autopsy and/or external examination. The final grade is expressed in 30/30 were 18 represents the minimum and 30 the maximum and it is established during the oral exam while the written test only gives access to the oral part of the exam.

    An intercourse test is planned to check the learning of Students in the Classroom. This consists in short general questions and a free space for suggestions
