Legal Medicine aims to assist justice in technical and scientific matters. Thus, for the expert to be able to act in the most appropriate manner in criminal, civil, labor, administrative, social security, and/or medical audits (public and private), a broad and solid training is necessary. The Forensic and Legal Medicine Residency Program is the most complete and safe option for providing academic training of medical experts, who can then achieve specialist recognition in this specialty. The program develops and maintains the highest possible standards of competence and professional integrity, as will be presented in this article. Implemented in 2004, this three-year program, accredited by the National Medical Residency Commission, currently offers five first-year positions. To date it has trained 16 medical experts who work in the various areas of forensic medicine and in the academic environment (in undergraduate and graduate programs).
