Deontologinę ekspertizę atliekančio teismo eksperto mokslinė-praktinė kompetencija

Abstract

In the article, the authors discuss the features and conditions of becoming a forensic expert in deontological examination. There is a focus on the requirements for a forensic medicine (deontology) doctor and their compliance with the competence and qualification requirements for a forensic expert. After carrying out the analyzes of legal regulation, of the special literature authors came to the general conclusion that the deontological examination is one of the few forensic areas, which is already being lectured in universities. In the course of university training and studies, a person also participates in training organized by expert institutions (State service of forensic medicine examination). Accordingly, the medical norms of Lithuania specify that a forensic doctor must be able to assess the errors of treatment and doctors when performing deontological (quality of treatment) tests in accordance with the assigned competence; carry out deontological (treatment quality) studies according to the assigned competence (clauses 14.1., 14.29.). Thus, a person who has acquired the professional qualification of a forensic medicine doctor must be able to assess the errors of treatment and doctors according to the specified description. i. e. conduct a deontological investigation. However, these scientific and practical competences in themselves are not enough for a person to be included in the list of Lithuanian forensic experts. For inclusion, it is necessary to additionally pass exams reflecting the content and knowledge of procedural competence of a person, such as status of forensic expert in criminal, (civil) procedure, his/her rights and obligation, documentation of forensic examination, etc.
