Post-graduate surgical training at the Fiji National University (FNU), previously known as the Fiji School of Medicine) has recently been updated by incorporating elements from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) training curriculum. The revised curriculum maintains strong contextual relevance to the needs and pathologies of the Pacific Island nations.  This paper outlines why the FNU surgical postgraduate training programme should be applauded as a successful programme in the training of surgeons for the region.

(English below) Cette étude présente une biographie de Mme Thérèse Belleau, première professeure d’archéologie à l’Université de Montréal engagée en 1958, débutant par un survol de qu’on sait sur la vie et la formation académique de Mme Belleau. S’en suit une discussion de sa formation en Europe (thèse à l’École d’Anthropologie de Paris, études post-graduées à l’Université de Londres) et de son embauche à l’Université de Montréal. Divers fonds d’archive permettent de retracer son travail au Musée national du Canada (Ottawa), incluant des conférences, publications et fouilles archéologiques au site Hughson, en Ontario. L’engouement suscité par son engagement à l’Université de Montréal est souligné et le texte conclut par un aperçu de ses activités scientifiques aux États-Unis et en Australie après 1959.•This study presents a biography of Mrs. Thérèse Belleau, the first archaeology professor to be hired at the University of Montreal in 1958, beginning with an overview of what can be gleaned from scientific sources about her life and academic trajectory. This is followed by a discussion of her training in Europe (thesis at the École d’Anthropologie de Paris, post-graduate studies at the University of London) and her hiring at the University of Montreal. Various archival sources detail her work at the National Museum of Canada (Ottawa), including conferences and archaeological excavations at the Hughson site, in Ontario. We highlight the excitement that her hiring at the University of Montreal created, and the paper concludes with a summary of her scientific activities in the USA and Australia after 1959.
