Questionnaires sent to representative medicolegal jurisdictions in the United States showed that medicolegal necropsies comprise a substantial proportion of the total number of autopsies performed. Qualitative differences between customary hospital autopsies and their forensic counterparts include autopsy bias, the importance of trauma, biological variability, and medicolegal logic. Because of these differences, medicolegal autopsies have an important role to play in the education of undergraduate and graduate medical students and should be incorporated into the training programs of academic departments of pathology.
发往美国具有代表性的法医学管辖区的调查问卷显示，法医学尸检在全部尸检数量中占相当大的比例。常规医院尸检与其法医学对应尸检之间的质量差异包括尸检偏差、创伤的重要性、生物变异性以及法医学逻辑。由于这些差异，法医学尸检在本科和研究生医学生的教育中可发挥重要作用，应纳入病理学学术部门的培训计划。
