Advantages of Membership

Through regular participation, SAMLA members enjoy the rich intellectual rewards that come from stimulating engagement with trained, wise and influential minds. SAMLA provides ample opportunities for contribution, recognition, influence and growth.

Membership of SAMLA provides you with contact with like-minded persons of all walks of life, who are interested in and/or who work in the medico-legal space. SAMLA members range in experience from novices to highly experienced  professionals. SAMLA  membership is not only about the opportunity to  network, learn and receive, but also to share and provide opportunties, to mentor, and to guide. The common goal is the provision of medico-legal services that are ethical, competent, and that are consistent with Constitutional values.

SAMLA's functioning is underpinned by a strong transformation imperative, with a fundamental belief that education and sharing underscore transformation.

At SAMLA seminars and expert training sessions, members encounter and discuss medico-legal challenges, controversies and ethics, as well as the science and law that apply to the medico-legal field.

Presenters and attendees also obtain valuable CPD points.

Join our expanding base of thought leaders and build your competence in the challenging and rewarding field of medico-legal practice.
