Goal of the Forensic Toxicology Special Interest Group
The goal of the Forensic Toxicology Special Interest Group is to provide a forum for members for the discussion of ideas and problems as they relate to forensic topics in clinical toxicology. This forum allows members to share their experience and expertise with other members on issues such as analytical challenges, human performance testing, postmortem data interpretation and other areas of forensic interest. Such discussion will provide an increased breadth and depth to the immediately available forensic toxicology knowledge base within AACT as well as foster collaborative research in forensic toxicology.

Activities of the SIG include:

1. Organizing periodic symposia on various forensic topics at regional and/or national meetings such as the NACCT
2. Providing a network of experience and expertise on a wide array of forensic toxicology topics
3. Encouraging intellectual discussion and scholarly collaboration in forensic toxicology between SIG members
4. Acting as a liaison between AACT and forensic organizations on issues relating to forensic toxicology
5. Serving as a professional resource for poison centers in areas of forensic toxicology
6. Providing a mechanism for dissemination of important information regarding forensic toxicology to AACT as a whole
