    49th Annual Meeting of the American Osler Society Sir William Osler, quoting Leigh Hunt, “Abou Ben Adhem” Sunday, May 12th – Wednesday May 15th, 2019 Hotel Omni Mont-Royal Montréal, Canada Hotel Omni Mont-Royal 49th Annual Meeting of the AMERICAN OSLER SOCIETY Sunday, May 12th – Wednesday, May 15th, 2019 Hotel Omni Mont-Royal Montréal, Canada Credit: Karen Koshof The Osler Niche contains the ashes of Sir William Osler and Lady Osler, as well as those of Osler’s dear cousin and first Librarian of the Osler Library, W.W. Francis. The Niche was designed with Osler’s wishes in mind. Its realization was not far off the vision imagined by Osler’s alter ego Egerton Yorrick Davis in “Burrowings of a Bookworm”: I like to think of my few books in an alcove of a fire-proof library in some institution that I love; at the end of the alcove an open fire-place and a few easy chairs, and on the mantelpiece an urn with my ashes and my bust or portrait through which my astral self, like the Bishop at St. Praxed’s, could peek at the books I have loved, and enjoy the delight with which kindred souls still in the flesh would handle them. Course Objectives Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to: Describe new research findings in the history of medicine. Outline the evolution of medicine in a particular disease. List professional contributions made by others in medicine. Intended Audience The target audience includes physicians and others interested in Osler, medical history and any of the medically oriented humanities who research and write on a range of issues.

    WELCOME TO OUR 2019 Honorary Degree Recipients concordia.ca 1 Message from our president It’s truly an exciting time to be part of the Concordia community. Ranked as Canada’s top university under 50 years old and one of the most international universities in the world, we recently climbed 144 spots in the World University Rankings, the biggest surge of any Canadian university. These encouraging results reflect our efforts to differentiate Concordia as a next-generation university. We’re positioning Concordia as a flagship for exciting research in breakthrough fields, and as a destination of choice for students seeking transformational learning opportunities in one of the world’s most dynamic, cosmopolitan cities. Concordians are achieving incredible things. In the past year alone, members of our community have: changed public policy through research on contaminants in local drinking water; been nominated for best short film at the Oscars; competed in national championships for men’s rugby, and men’s and women’s basketball. The university’s foundation became the first in Canada to commit to a portfolio of 100 per cent sustainable investments by 2025, and one of our graduates — Lino A. Saputo Jr. — was named the country’s top CEO of the year. We’re ambitious to expand our impact as innovation leaders in higher education and are eager to keep you engaged and supportive of the progress we’re making. As a recipient of a Concordia honorary doctorate, you represent the values, talent and contributions to society we celebrate as a next-generation university.
