Abstract
Forensic physicians play an important role in legal justice. Taiwan has a population of 23 million. It has had a serious shortage of forensic physicians for more than half a century. This has resulted in poor quality of forensic medical practice. In order to increase the number of forensic physicians, new education and training system have been proposed. Legislation of Forensic Physicians Law was enacted in 2005. It is expected that the quality of forensic practice will be improved when the new forensic physicians join this profession. ? 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
