Forensic science, medicine, and pathology·2025

Medical students in Germany can now practice external post-mortem examinations using a new virtual simulator. This web-based Inmedea Simulator trains systematic approaches to forensic findings and their medico-legal implications, receiving positive initial feedback.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Legal Medicine
  • Forensic Pathology

Background:

  • External post-mortem examination is a medical duty in Germany, crucial for legal medicine education.
  • Medical students require systematic training to interpret forensic findings and medico-legal implications accurately.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a web-based virtual simulator for training external post-mortem examinations.
  • To enhance medical students' systematic approach and interpretation of forensic findings.

Main Methods:

  • Development of 15 virtual death cases using the Inmedea Simulator.
  • Implementation of the simulator for medical students at the University of Münster.
  • Focus on systematic training for interpreting forensic findings and medico-legal aspects.
