The Historical Evolution of Academic Surgery at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital
Surgical teaching and research at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital has evolved substantially since the hospital was opened in 1882. Economic constraints, World Wars, developments in technology, changes to healthcare policy and society's expectations have all presented opportunities and obstacles, and ultimately shaped the current practice of academic surgery at the Hospital. This article aims to trace the historical evolution of academic surgery at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPAH) and discuss the internal and external factors which drove these changes.
