Pasifika Medical Association was formed in 1996 as an Incorporated Society. It was established by a group of Pacific medical professionals who identified a need for an association which brought together, and provided a forum for, Pacific doctors, medical students and other health professionals.
We are governed by an Executive Board and have a small management team which co-ordinates all our activities.
We aim to:
Provide mentoring and support Pacific health practitioners and health students
Promote health professions as career paths in Pacific communities
Provide advice to academic and training institutions on Pacific health curriculum and student recruitment and retainment
Work with our partner organisations in the Pacific region
Provide a voice on Pacific issues relating to/or with an impact on Pacific health
Provide information on scholarships, training opportunities, funding and support available to Pacific health practitioners
Provide policy advice to Government departments on Pacifichealth issues
