About AFMS

MISSION STATEMENT

There is a growing demand for high quality educational courses and training in Forensic Medicine and its allied specialties, collectively called the Forensic Medical Sciences.  The Academy was established to meet this need and will be offering  a number of educational activities from October 2010. There will be a number of courses delivered in the classroom as well as on-line, training programs, seminars and other related educational activities. These will be of value to a wide range of professionals and others interested in forensic medical sciences and, indeed courses will be developed with the various speciality interests in mind.

"The Academy is providing post-graduate training in collaboration with Universities and other professional bodies (nationally and internationally) in the different areas of the forensic medical sciences to facilitate students’ eligibility for entry to specialist examinations to qualify for Consultant level status in their area of expertise. The Fellowship of Forensic Medical Sciences (FFMS) is an exit exam. Recently AFMS has granted the application to recognize members of the National Specialist Register (Malaysia) in higher training and to award a fellowship in the field of forensic pathology and human identification by examination."

Our website also publishes notes and other information on its secure pages for all students participating both in AFMS courses and Barts and the London SMD (University of London) courses.
