What the courses teach

  1. Read a hospital file in order, and know which paper answers which question.
  2. How the standard of care is framed, and how the facts of a case are set against it.
  3. Place medical evidence within a case: what a record or a report can show, and what it cannot.
  4. Follow a medical expert’s opinion, and see where it stops.

Questions

Which course is mine?

If you are in practice, or you work with legal files, take the first. If you are still studying, take the second. Both begin with the same core on reading the hospital file; the student course then spends more time on the forensic medicine that comes up in examinations and moots.

What is free?

Module one of each course is free to read, with no card. Read it, then decide.

How long is a course, and what do I get?

Eight modules of about fifteen minutes, a quiz after each, a printable working document from every module, and a certificate. One payment gives twelve months of access.

Is this legal advice, or advocacy training?

Neither. The courses teach the medicine a lawyer meets and the law that governs medical evidence. They are not legal advice and they do not teach courtroom advocacy.

Written by Dr. Rupal V. Rana, MBBS, DCH, LLB, LLM, a medical practitioner qualified in law, in consultation with a High Court advocate. She is not an enrolled advocate. These courses teach the medicine a lawyer meets and the law that governs medical evidence; it is not legal advice and it does not teach courtroom advocacy.

Each certificate records completion of a private course. It is not a degree, diploma or recognised qualification, it is not approved by the Bar Council of India, any State Bar Council or the UGC, and it carries no continuing legal education credit.
