Author

Sir William Osler (1849–1919) was a Canadian physician and one of the founding professors of Johns Hopkins Hospital — often called a father of modern medicine. He created early residency training, wrote with clarity for doctors and students, and loved medical history as much as the bedside. The Evolution of Modern Medicine in our catalogue shows Osler the historian: a clinician who believed the past of healing still teaches the present.
