Abstract
One way to increase cooperation between the professions of law and medicine is to teach law in medical schools in a way that emphasizes methods of approaching problems, and seeks to dispel the major myths that doctors have about the law. In this Article, Professor George Annas presents an outline of a core course in legal medicine “tailor-made” for inclusion in the medical (and, with appropriate modifications, dental) school curriculum.Keywords
