However, the number of forensic medicine and medicolegal specialists is still significantly less. Currently, there are 271 people recorded and spread across Indonesia, including two people in Aceh Province with three medical faculties to be managed. For this reason, it is necessary to think about how to increase the number of forensic medicine and medicolegal specialists in Aceh.
