A Cross-sectional Study on the Knowledge and Awareness among Medical Interns, Resident Doctors, and Faculty Members about Handling Medicolegal Cases in a Medical College of Northern India
The study found that there was lack of comprehensive understanding about MLC in some participating doctors. Hence, actions are required in specific areas of medicolegal understanding where a significant gap of knowledge was seen. Measures such as periodic continuing medical education and workshop sessions on medical law and ethics can be organized to ensure that all the doctors from interns to faculty members feel confident to handle their medicolegal issues.
