OBSTETRICS
PROPOSED SCHOOL
POST-GRADUATE TRAINING
The New Zealand Obstetrical Society, at its half-yearly executive meeting in Wellington yesterday, decided to call a round-table conference of interested parties to discuss the founding in Auckland of a modern women's hospital to function as a Dominion school for post-graduate training and refresher courses in obstetrics. Such a hospital has long been regarded by the society as necessary for New Zealand, and the war situation, which has made it impossble for New Zealand doctors to obtain post-graduate obstetrical experience overseas compelling them to commence practice in New Zealand with no background of residential experience in obstetrics, only accentuated the need, it was decided to invite to the initial discussion representatives of the Faculty of Medicine, Auckland Hospital Board, Auckland University Council, women's organisations in the Auckland section, New Zealand branch of the British Medical Association, and the Health Department.
