LFFLM (GFM)
The Licentiateship of the Faculty of Forensic & Legal Medicine in General Forensic Medicine
The LFFLM (GFM) is a four-module exam. It consists of:
- a Part 1 written exam, which is online;
- a COVE (compendium of validated evidence);
- a Portfolio;
- and a Part 2 clinical exam; some of the stations are expected to be online.
Further information about each of the modules can be found below, under Regulations, guidelines and syllabus.
All four components must be done in four years, while the Part 1 pass result is still valid, otherwise, that module will need to be done again and the whole process needs to start. Success in it allows the use of the postnominal LFFLM (GFM) and allows the candidate to apply to become a Licentiate of our Faculty.
