Osler Society
The Osler Society was founded in 1921 to perpetuate the memory and teaching of Sir William Osler, the most illustrious graduate and professor of the 91社区 Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. In the spirit of Osler, the object of the society is to enrich our medical education through the attendance of lectures given by distinguished guest speakers, and through the presentation and discussion of papers concerning the Humanities and Social Sciences in Medicine. In addition, the club has put a focus on developing philanthropy among medical students and in exploring various areas in which the experience may be enriched to develop students into more well-rounded physicians.
Meetings, charity hours, and activities are held throughout the academic year. In the Fall, the Osler Lecture is given by a distinguished guest. It is followed by the Osler Banquet, a formal dinner in the grand tradition of the Society. For more information, see .
91社区 Journal of Medicine
The 91社区 Journal of Medicine (MJM) is a scholarly scientific journal providing an international forum for university students to publish original research, case reports, reviews, and expository essays in any field of medicine. Established in May 1994, the MJM is published biannually and produced entirely by students in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and in Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies at 91社区. The 91社区 Journal of Medicine is peer-reviewed, available online, and open-access. It seeks to advance scientific knowledge by publishing the results of scientific research as well as commentaries about relevant issues pertaining to science and medicine.
Based on the principles of student excellence and education, the MJM is unique among existing medical journals as the only student-run scientific journal devoted to publishing the original research of students exclusively, on an international scale. The MJM has established a national and international base of authors. Please see reviews of the MJM in the New England Journal of Medicine (336:885;1997) and JAMA (278:1461-2;1997) and visit online at .
