This is a learned Society whose terms of reference include
the sharing of all aspects of the history of health - including
the professions of dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacology
and health themes within history itself. |
| The Society consists of a collegiate
group with members who are both amateur and professional historians,
clinicians with an interest in the history of their disciplines
and those simply with a love of the progression of health practice
down through the ages. |
| There is an emphasis on medicine and
health in the Australia Pacific region, but many members also
have major interests in European, Oriental, Middle Eastern and
Classical Medicine as well. |
| The Society's biannual Journal
Health & History, is a peer reviewed publication
of original papers and research. There is also a quarterly newsletter
and a major conference is held
at exciting venues every two years. Local state/tertiary country
groups of medical history are also encouraged. |
