About ABFM

Forensic medicine is the application of medical science to legal problems. Experts in forensic medicine provide research, reports, and testimony in court to assist in the determination of a legal question, such as the cause of death, particularly when foul play is suspected. A specialist in forensic medicine may utilize knowledge of anatomy, medicine, physiology, surgery, chemistry, pathology, physics, or a number of other fields in order to answer a contested question.
