The Department of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology introduces students to the application of medical knowledge in legal and investigative settings. It helps students understand the relationship between medicine and law while developing knowledge of medico-legal responsibilities and ethical professional practice.

The department covers important areas such as identification, injuries, causes and manner of death, medico-legal documentation, medical ethics, and the effects of poisons and toxic substances. This knowledge helps future healthcare professionals approach medico-legal situations with accuracy, responsibility, and respect for human dignity.
