Forensic Medicine & Toxicology for Medical Students, 6th Edition (previously published as Review of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology) is a fully colored, concise revision textbook built around the NMC's Competency Based Medical Education Curriculum for the Indian Medical Graduate, covering both forensic medicine and toxicology, including their clinical and pathological aspects, in one volume. This Revised Reprint updates the synopsis with India's new criminal law codes - Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) - presented with a comparative analysis against the IPC, CrPC and IEA provisions they replace.

The book is organized in two sections across 60 chapters: Section 1 covers Jurisprudence and Forensic Medicine (medical practitioner duties, identification, medico-legal autopsy, thanatology, injuries, firearm and regional injuries, asphyxial deaths, sexual offenses, forensic psychiatry, bloodstain analysis, DNA fingerprinting and more), and Section 2 covers Toxicology (general toxicology, corrosive, metallic, agricultural and medicinal poisons, asphyxiants, sedative-hypnotics and drug dependence). Recently added Acts include the Assisted Reproductive Technology Act 2021, the Surrogacy Act 2021 and the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act 2019, and chapters on medical jurisprudence, sexual assault, forensic psychiatry (per ICD-11) and alcohol intoxication have been updated with current clinical case studies.

Every chapter opens with Learning Objectives split into "Must Know" and "Desirable to Know," and uses colored images, line diagrams, flowcharts and comparative Differentiation tables to make dense medico-legal and toxicology content easier to recall for theory, viva-voce and practical examinations.

• MBBS Students studying Forensic Medicine and Toxicology: chapter-wise coverage matches the full UG jurisprudence, forensic medicine and toxicology syllabus for theory, practical and viva-voce.
• Students preparing for PG entrance and licensing exams (NEET PG, FMGE): online topic-wise MCQs sourced from previous PG entrance examinations and image-based questions support exam-style revision.
• Medico-legal and forensic educators: the "Must Know"/"Desirable to Know" objective split and chapter-end case reports support structured teaching.

• Keeps you current on India's new criminal laws: BNS, BNSS and BSA are covered within the text itself with a side-by-side comparison to the IPC, CrPC and IEA provisions they replace, so you don't need to cross-reference a separate bare act.
• Turns dense medico-legal content into exam-ready recall: "Pearls" highlight points likely to appear in viva or MCQs, "Nota Bene" boxes flag extra detail, and end-of-chapter "High Yield" sections give a nutshell revision summary.
• Builds applied clinical reasoning, not just definitions: chapter-end case reports and in-text image-based questions (identifying instruments, reading radiographs and skeletal remains for age/sex determination) push you to apply concepts rather than memorize them.
• One book for both halves of the subject: forensic medicine and toxicology, including their clinical and pathological aspects, are covered together, removing the need for a separate toxicology reference.
• Extends beyond the printed page: QR-code-linked online videos at key topics and the Dr. Wise AI chatbot give you additional explanation on demand.

• 60 chapters across two sections (Jurisprudence and Forensic Medicine, and Toxicology), each opening with "Must Know"/"Desirable to Know" Learning Objectives and closing with a case report.
• Synopsis fully updated with the latest criminal laws - BNS, BNSS and BSA - including comparative analysis against IPC, CrPC and IEA.
• Online, clinically integrated and image-based MCQs drawn from previous PG entrance examinations (NEET, AIIMS, PGI, FMGE, UPSC-CMS), accessed via a unique code.
• Extensive comparative Differentiation tables and figures (male vs female skull, mandible, pelvis and sacrum; race determination from skull; teeth eruption) plus important signs and antidotes of common poisons tabulated at the start of the book.
• QR-code access to topic-linked online videos and the Dr. Wise AI chatbot, plus footnotes, "Pearls," "Nota Bene" boxes and chapter-end "High Yield" summaries throughout.
