The Academy is dedicated to the development and expansion of forensic nursing science. We promote ethical principles and standards of professional conduct among members where integrity, competency, and best practices excel.
So what is so unique about this Academy? More focused than an association, the Academy provides leaders in the field who establish and evaluate standards, benchmark the highest level of forensic science and related practice, generates new ideas for extending the profession, provides a clearinghouse of useful information regarding contemporary trends and issues in the medical-legal setting, and, examines new scientific discoveries in forensic science.
If you are interested in forensic science and have wanted all of the benefits of a professional organization without the typical organizational structure, the Academy of Forensic Nursing Science (AFNS) was developed with you in mind!
