About the Department

Forensic Medicine & Toxicology (FMT) is one of the vital subjects in homoeopathic medical education that bridges medicine, law, and ethics. It provides prospective homoeopathic doctors with the information and abilities they need to manage medico-legal duties confidently and responsibly in clinical practice.

The subject covers the application of medical science to legal issues, such as medico-legal examination, injury assessment, post-mortem principles, toxicology, and professional behaviour. Special attention is placed on understanding legal procedures, documentation, medical jurisprudence, and the ethical responsibilities of a certified medical practitioner.

Forensic Medicine & Toxicology highlights the medico-legal significance of homoeopathic practice, including certification, consent, negligence, professional accountability, and safe use of medicines. The subject promotes awareness of ethical practice, social responsibility, and legal knowledge, which are essential attributes for a successful physician.

The objective of the department is to develop analytical thinking, observational skills, and ethical decision-making abilities, enabling students to serve society with integrity while adhering to legal and medical ethics norms.
