NEXT CONFERENCE MAY BE IN N.Z.
AUSTRALASIAN COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS
(PBISS ASSOCIATION TILEGRASC.)
■WELLINGTON, December 20. I Four New Zealand doctors who attended the inaugural conference of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, held in Sydney last weeic, returned by the Wanganella to-day. They were Dr. Fred T. Bowerbank and Dr. J. M. Twhigg, of Wellington, Dr. Malcolm Gray, of Christchurch, and Dr. J. B. McMiken, of Otaki. Asked about the value of the conference, Dr. Bowerbank said there was no doubt that it was going to be of tremendous value to pure medicine, and for post-graduate teaching. After all, medicine had made a tremendous advance in the last 20 years, and it had not been sufficiently recognised in Australia and New Zealand. Dr. Bowerbank said it was proposed to hold the conference annually. The next would probably be in Wellington in about 18 months, in 1940, although that had not actually been decided. The New Zealand delegates had extended an invitation to the council to hold the conference in New Zealand. If it were not held in the Dominion it would take place in Melbourne.
