Summary
Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a severe change in the medical staff’s working order worldwide [13]. While the closed or restricted services have caused a decrease in routine work, most physicians (voluntarily or in charge) have undertaken out of forensic field medical responsibilities that they haven’t been in for a long time [4]. A branch of medicine based on anamnesis, examination, and diagnosis, is not a specialty providing treatment services. The organizational structure of forensic medicine in Turkey is strikingly different from the conventional medical branches. Ministry of Justice delivers forensic medicine services in all the cities of Turkey. A lot of hospitals of the Ministry of Health and the Forensic Medicine Departments of the Medical Faculties provide this service. We conduct a survey to determine both specialists and residents’ practices and conditions of the specialists and assistants working in forensic medicine in Turkey during the pandemic period
