Abstract

Abstract: Forensic toxicology education in China is limited by insufficient teaching methods and resources, resulting in students with adequate theoretical principles but lacking practice experience. Typical cases used as teaching materials vividly represent intoxication and provide students with an opportunity to practice and hone resolving skills. In 2013, the Department of Forensic Pathology at Zhongshan School of Medicine began to construct top-quality courses in forensic toxicology, with its first step, creating a base containing typical cases of intoxication. This essay reviews the construction process of said cases-base, which is intended to set an example of forensic toxicology education. Highlights: This is a novel attempt to construct a teaching base used for forensic toxicology education. The case-base enriches course contents and teaching methods. Those collected cases range from survivors after poisoning to poisoned death. This introduction of case-base provides elicitations to modern forensic education.
