The Indian Academy of Forensic Medicine (IAFM) was established in 1972 with a view to promote brotherhood, co-operation, and camaraderie among the Forensic Pathologists of the World, especially those hailing from India.  It has been regularly holding various academic activities, such as conferences, seminars, etc. since its inception.  We aim to develop a series of official documents on behalf of IAFM to sharpen the skills and knowledge of our professionals.  We invite all of you to join this mission to nurture our academic and social needs.
