KING EDWARD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
SETH GORDHANDAS SUNDERDAS MEDICAL COLLEGE
बृहन्मुंबई महानगरपालिका रुग्णालय
The Forensic medicine and toxicology department has been in existence since the very inception of this college. The subject initially in the name of ‘MEDICAL JURISPRUDENCE’ was initiated at this college for training students of II MBBS.
Initially, not much stress was laid on this subject. As time progressed, the subject gradually expanded its horizon and activities within the department increased to encompass medicolegal autopsy work and clinical forensic medicine, among others. The department has, uptill date, been graced by the who’s who of this fraternity as its faculty including Dr. A.K.Turner, Dr. J.P.Modi (Father of Forensic Medicine), Dr. C.K.Parikh and Dr. C.A. Franklin.
In August 1970 Dr. Tembe (Pathologist) was appointed full time lecturer and promoted in 1975 as an Associate Professor and Head of the Dept. After his retirement in 1986, Dr. C.A.Franklin, retired Head of the Dept. of Forensic Medicine at Grant Medical College & Police Surgeon of Mumbai chaired the department on a contract basis. Special mention must be made of Professor Tembe for his determination and hard work to be promoted from his first employment as a laboratory attendant in this institute to the post of Assoc. Prof, Head of Dept of Forensic Medicine and the first Vice Principal of Krishna Medical College, Karad.
This department made its humble beginning by occupying a part of the corridor on the 1st floor of the college that connects to the library building. Today, the department occupies a sizable part of the 3rd floor of the Library Building and also some part of the 2nd floor of the same building. The expansion of the department gathered pace under the guidance of Dr. (Mrs) PM Pai, Ex – Dean who saw to it that the department was allotted enough space even for a museum, demonstration halls and a well equipped laboratory.
On April 15th 1995, Dr. Rajeev Sahankarrao Chaudhari was selected & appointed by the MPSC as full time qualified [MD (Forensic Medicine& Toxicology) & DFM] Professor in the Forensic medicine & Toxicology Department. He took over as a Head of the Department with Dr Walter Vaz as Lecturer. Dr Vaz took assumed charge of the department as Professor and Head on May 2006 till his resignation on May 2012. Professor Dr Harish M. Pathak took over as Professor and Head in June, 2012 and has been in charge since then
