  1. Forensic Medicine can be effectively taught during Gynecology & Obstetrics (rape, assault), surgery (injuries).Forensic medicine deals with application of medical knowledge in administration of justice How to apply the knowledge is taught only here though the knowledge is acquired elsewhere that  is in surgery or gynecology as they teach only management but not certification. I do agree with above recommendation, hence request for recommendation of forensic medicine as final year subject.
  2. Legal experts can be called for medico-legal issues. Forensic experts are called by the court in medico-legal issues why they do so when legal experts can teach forensic medicine.
  3. Forensic medicine skills can be acquired during internship such as documentation of medico-legal cases of alcoholism, suicide/homicide, rape, assault and injury cases......................................Driving skills can be obtained only by driving but indeed a person is allowed to drive only after learning traffic signs and road rules like medico-legal certification
So allow us teach theory to undergraduate and practical to interns by making it mandatory to have casualty under department of forensic medicine
