AAAPC was founded in 1983 as the Australian Association for Academic General Practice (AAAGP). The original aims of the organisation were to: advance the discipline of academic general practice through the promotion of scholarship and innovation in research and medical education; and to represent the University Departments of General Practice where the majority of senior researchers were based. AAAGP helped to put academics from departments around Australia in touch with each other. Throughout AAAPC's history, this network of Heads of Departments has been an important affiliate.
AAAPC's vision is for a multidisciplinary primary care oriented health care system founded on patient-centred, primary care principles and developed through evidence and education. As we grow to achieve this vision, we endeavour to develop networks across disciplines and across countries. Interested in getting involved? Contact us at secretariat@aaapc.org.au
