This paper takes the organic relationship between teaching and learning as a starting point to explorewhat constitute effective pedagogical practices. The paper argues that teaching and learning cannot be carried onan ad hoc basis; it requires well planned and thought pedagogical strategies and tactics. An effective pedagogy inforensic medicine education is one which creates opportunities for conversation between students and lecturersand amongst the various stakeholders of forensic medicine and its education. Such pedagogy needs to be studentcentred,reflective, technology-based, and internationalised. An effective pedagogy is expected to emphasiseforensic medicine competencies and exemplars and allow forensic medicine students to experience the complexmulti-dimensional identity of forensic medical practice. The paper explores the various pedagogical approaches(lecture-based learning, small group-based learning, problem-based learning, and workplace-based learning) andthe various strategies and tactics to develop these approaches within a forensic medicine education context. Thispaper concludes that an effective pedagogy in forensic medicine education is one comprising various approacheswhich are linked to one another and which connect theoretical knowledge to experiential knowledge stressing thevarious forensic medicine competencies and capabilities.
