Abstract
The implementation of the Medical Licensure Act in 2002 led to remarkable changes in teaching, testing and evaluation in undergraduate medical education. Using an online questionnaire the current situation among German institutes for forensic medicine was evaluated. The return rate of the questionnaires was 80%. The results point at a preponderance of testing of factual knowledge. A change to testing of practical skills appears necessary to match the learning objectives of practical teaching. The evaluation results represent a high level of student contentment with teaching in forensic medicine. Clinical electives can be offered by more of 90% of the institutes. Teaching time in forensic medicine is thought to be inadequate by a relevant number of institutes.
