The Proving Ground: Colombo Plan Fellowships and the Changing Landscape of Health Education in Canada, 1951-69.
Canadian Bulletin of Medical History 2021 April 6
This article examines the history of the Colombo Plan fellowship program in Canada during the 1950s and 1960s.

First, it brought an unprecedented number of students and health care professionals from South and Southeast Asia to Canada; second, it fostered a sense of mission within Canadian institutions about the role education should play in contributing to health and international development overseas; and third, it revealed the challenges and tensions inherent in fulfilling this mission in the context of differences between the objectives of Canadian officials and those of the fellows themselves. With its focus on South and Southeast Asia, the Colombo Plan fellowship program anticipated broader trends regarding the international migration of health workers from that region in later years.
