THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF LEGAL MEDICINE
The American College of Legal Medicine (ACLM) was incorporated in 1960, with organizational roots dating back to 1955. It is the most prominent professional society in the United States concerned with addressing issues that arise at the interface of law and medicine. Fellows of the American College of Legal Medicine, which make up over 50% of its membership, have been trained and schooled in medicine and/or law and the majority hold both the MD and JD degrees. College members also include physicians (M.D., D.O.), attorneys (J.D., L.L.B), dentists, Registered Nurses, podiatrists, scientists, and other health professionals.
Through its medical legal resources, the ACLM educates and assists health care and legal professionals, advances the administration of justice, influences health policy, improves health care, promotes research and scholarship, and facilitates peer group interaction. In addition, the American College of Legal Medicine represents the specialty of legal medicine in the American Medical Association’s Specialty and Service Society.
