Post-traumatic Personal Injury Assessment

Overview: Post-traumatic bodily injury assessment, aiming to orient its proper reparation, whether judicially or extrajudiciallly, is an area that, in Portugal, is essentially assumed by legal medicine, extending often, however, to other medical specialties. So it has gained autonomy, lately, in some aspects: in fact, not only it’s demanded here the contribution of other medical specialties, but also because it’s assumed that many specialists (especially those related to trauma) may be capable of undertaking this task. This course has, then, the main goal of contributing to enhance knowledge and skills of medical doctors and dentists who dedicate or that may dedicate in the future to post-traumatic bodily injury assessment, aiming to contribute to good application of justice, in the best interest of victims (including aspects related to protection/safety, health/rehabilitation and evidence production for criminal investigation purposes, when necessary).
