The symposium brings together interdisciplinary topics in fields related to the forensic field (medical, legal, humanities and penitentiary sciences) to encourage the local and national community to participate in the development of the scientist-practitioner model in forensic medicine. Our goal is to convene researchers and practitioners in the fields of medicine, law, penitentiary, psychology, etc. to contribute to the benefit of our community, providing scientific robustness in our forensic activities.
