Background

Content Summary:

The Australian Postgraduate Federation in Medicine was formed out of a concept by the State Postgraduate Committees who felt the need for a Federal overviewing body. This need was first expressed in 1946. The first Annual Meeting of the Federation was staged in 1948.

The Federation's records to 1970 were transferred to the National Library in 1982. The bulk of the material in the collection is correspondence, relating to the education, training and exchange of medical personnel from South and Southeast Asia; conferences on postgraduate medical education; overseas lecturers who either came, or spoke, under the auspices of the Federation, or State committees; and internal workings of the Federation.
