Title
Post Graduate Foundation in Veterinary Science
Description
During the 1950's many veterinarians recognised a growing need for continuing education. Through a group of forward thinking veterinarians from within the ranks of practitioners, university lecturers, the professional association, and associated industries this recognition culminated in the formation of the Post Graduate Committee in Veterinary Science in 1961. The activities of this body led to the formation of the Post Graduate Foundation in Veterinary Science of the University of Sydney in 1965. The Foundation was formed under the authority of the Senate of the University of Sydney and is governed by a Council elected by the Members of the Foundation. It was established to fund continuing education for the profession and over time the activities have been expanded to cover a range of different services.
The initiatives of 40 years ago established the world's first and leading organisation dedicated to postgraduate veterinary education. Its earliest activity was the organisation of regular refresher courses of 2 to 5 days duration. In the first year 2 such courses were held. In 1996, 68 courses were held, in 1997, 94 courses were held and in 1998, it was 102. There has been comparable growth in our other activities covering publishing, technical information search and dissemination, and distance education.
From its inception the Post Graduate Foundation has enjoyed the support and participation in its activities of our colleagues in New Zealand. Veterinarians from many countries around the world now use the Foundation as a resource and many overseas veterinarians attend our courses. With the expansion of veterinary practice and the new technology in communications we are looking forward to increasing involvement in fulfilling the continuing education requirements of veterinarians everywhere.
