Forensic medicine students in Italy can now gain practical skills through realistic homicide simulations. This innovative approach complements traditional education, enhancing critical thinking and teamwork in crime scene investigation.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Forensic Science
  • Simulation-Based Learning

Background:

  • Traditional forensic medicine education in Italy is primarily theory-based.
  • Limited access to practical experience due to confidentiality and case complexity.
  • Need for innovative teaching methods to bridge the theory-practice gap.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel forensic simulation for medical students.
  • To provide a structured environment for applying theoretical forensic knowledge.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of simulation in enhancing practical skills.

Main Methods:

  • A staged homicide simulation was conducted at a Clinical Simulation Center.
  • Involved preliminary briefing, interactive role-playing with actors and students, and structured debriefing.
