In 1934, the Association of Physicians of Australasia Council decided that an examining and executive body College should be formed to enhance the prestige of the profession, stimulate interest in medical education and research, and set a standard of professional ethical conduct. The constitution was to be modelled on that of the London College. In 1937, the Association purchased premises at 145 Macquarie Street, Sydney, which had originally been the home of the Fairfax family. Funds were raised by the NSW Government and public donation. In 1938, the College was incorporated and the first meeting of the Council was held in April.〔https://www.racp.edu.au/about〕 The motto of 'hominum servire saluti' (to serve the health of our people was adopted for the College coat of arms). In September that year 47 candidates took the first examinations and 41 members were admitted. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Royal Australasian College of Physicians」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
