The study revealed that the knowledge score of medico-legal issues was higher in male resident doctors as compared to their female counter parts. Duration of medical training plus years of experience lead to higher mean knowledge scores. Senior resident doctors and also the resident doctors having experience greater than five years had significantly higher knowledge scores.
