Abstract
The 67th Interstate Postgraduate Medical Assembly continues a tradition of high-quality continuing medical education begun in 1916, when an annual meeting of this type was a new idea. POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE, when it began publication in 1947, was an outgrowth of the Assembly's printed proceedings. The Interstate Postgraduate Medical Association, which sponsors the Assembly, and POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE maintain a cooperative relationship, and the journal publishes many of the papers presented each year at the meeting.
