N2  - In Germany, the external post-mortem examination is considered a medical duty and may be performed by any licensed physician. Concerning legal medicine as a curricular subject in teaching medical students, the external post-mortem examination is regarded a core area. At the University of Müenster, 15 virtual cases of death have been developed by using the web-based Inmedea Simulator. The programme allows performing all relevant steps in executing a complete external post-mortem examination. A particular importance was attached to the aspect of training users in approaching the subject in a systematic way to interpret significant forensic findings correctly and to comprehend their medico-legal implications. The programme was used for the first time in the academic term of 2010/2011. The overall reception of the programme by the medical students resulted to be positive in a first evaluation.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
