Training in Bogota, Colombia, March 2012 “Training course on the Istanbul Protocol for the effective medico-legal documentation of torture” We had 36 participants in total including 29 medical doctors from both clinical and forensic pathology sections, one odontologist and six psychiatrists and psychologists. We also had two prosecutors. The first three days we included lectures and workshops, and on the last two days we asked the participants to bring their own cases and present them to the audience in order to have a discussion on the forensic approach and other related aspects. The evaluation of the participants after the training was excellent; they were very much satisfied with the four experts and strongly recommended to continue with these types of training and the feedback process. We have detected some medical doctors and psychiatrists to continue as trainers with the training in their regional offices. — Maria Dolores Morcillo-Méndez, National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences, Colombia Getting the evidence: Countering torture through medico-legal documentation 7
