International Work
The VIFM has a long history of active engagement with international forensic medical and scientific communities, and individual practitioners. We have developed our capabilities through interaction, collaborations and partnerships with international forensic institutes. Training placements at the VIFM are highly sought after by international clinicians and scientists as the Institute is one of the very few forensic organisations in the world that provides formalised postgraduate forensic medical, scientific, academic and professional programs.

We offer a range of expert consultancy international consultancy services.
