§ 4 — Boundaries of the field of expertise Standards Forensic Pathology (007.1)

Boundaries of the field of expertise

Within the field of forensic and legal medicine, two distinct areas of practice exist:

– Forensic clinical medicine (in the Netherlands performed by forensisch geneeskundigen) which has its primary focus on the examination of the living.

– Forensic pathology which has its primary focus on the dead and to conduct a medico-legal or forensic autopsies autopsy.

The activities of these fields of expertise show an overlap to a certain extent, but for both fields of expertise specific knowledge and experience are needed that set experts within these fields apart from each other. In principle, the activities within the field of forensic clinical medicine fall outside of the field of forensic pathology as defined by the NRGD for registration.

The following related fields of expertise also fall outside of the field of forensic pathology as defined by the NRGD for registration:

– forensic odontology;

– forensic radiology;

– forensic anthropology.

Though the related fields of expertise fall outside of the field of forensic pathology, a registered forensic pathologist has to have knowledge of the principles of the abovementioned related fields of expertise, is able to adequately refer the commissioning party, to adequately deal with sampling in the chain of investigations and to integrate the findings in the final expert conclusion.
