  • Departmental Acknowledgement
    DEPARTMENTAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Hi Everyone This week's Departmental Acknowledgement goes to F Clarke Fraser, Professor Emeritus of our Department and is based on his induction earlier this week into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame. The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame is physically located in London, Ontario and was established in 1994. With his induction, Clarke joins in the Hall's distinguished ranks another McGill Department of Pediatrics and Montreal Children's Hospital luminary, Charles Scriver. Indeed, two other "pediatric" superstars from McGill, Sir William Osler (who wrote a monumental work on cerebral palsy) and Maud Abbott (who defined the concept and pathogenesis of congenital heart disease) are charter members of the Hall. After a childhood mostly spent in Jamaica, Clarke was educated at Acadia University before coming to McGill to undertake a PhD with Arthur Steinberg followed by medical studies in which he failed anatomy and two other courses. Perhaps he can be excused for this by the observation that he was simultaneously teaching undergraduate courses in biometry and developmental genetics (!). Upon graduation, he remained at McGill and the MCH and under the tutelage of Alton Goldbloom and later Alan Ross embarked on a truly legendary career at the MCH from 1950-1999 (with the exception of 3 years spent in Newfoundland in the early '80s). Clarke was responsible for the establishment of the MCH's Medical Genetics Division, where he was an active participant in the truly revolutionary advances that swept the field. Clarke was a pioneering figure in dysmorphology, teratology, and genetic counseling. He formulated the multifactorial threshold model and coined the terms 'anomalad' and 'natural insemination donor' (he always had a great dry sense of humor) and predicted the advent of genetic engineering.

  • Charles Scriver Interview
    CHARLES SCRIVER INTERVIEW First Session - August 22, 2006 1. Family Background and Education NC: It is August 22nd, 2006, and this is Nathaniel Comfort. I'm in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, at the Montreal Children's Hospital, and we're doing the oral history interview with Charles Scriver. Would you first just state your full name? CS: Charles Robert Scriver. NC: It's great to be here, Dr. Scriver. I'm really looking forward to talking with you. What I'd like to do is just begin at the very beginning and have you tell me a little bit about your childhood and background and your parents and what it was like growing up. CS: It's a very unglamorous history compared to how people move around the world today. I was born in Montreal, I was educated in Montreal, I've worked in Montreal, I'm going to die in Montreal. NC: When were you born? CS: I was born November 7th, 1930. I had parents who were both physicians and both on the faculty at McGill University. I was an only child. My mother was thirty-seven when I was born. It was a rather particular influence that, with my mother, who was a working mother in the 1930s, even though she was professional and from a place that didn't have to work, it was her moral obligation to use the opportunities she had been given to study medicine at McGill University. She was in the first class to tolerate women. She became a role model for women students after that.

  • F. Clarke Fraser, MD Phd
    F. Clarke Fraser, MD PhD Spanning the fields of science and medicine, Dr. F. Clarke Fraser was one of the creators of the discipline of medical genetics in North America, and laid the foundations in the field of Genetic Counselling, which has enhanced the lives of patients worldwide. Among his many accomplishments, Dr. Fraser pioneered work in the genetics of cleft palate and popularized the concept of multifactorial disease. Dr. Fraser was an iconic figure in Canadian medicine, as well as a biomedical pioneer, a fine teacher, and an outstanding scientist. Dr. Fraser was indeed an original thinker. As a fearless groundbreaker blessed with rare insight, he initially chose the medical field before being captivated by genetics while earning his Bachelor of Science degree in biology from Acadia University in 1940. He then enrolled in McGill University where he obtained his Master of Science a year later. After serving in the Canadian Air Force as a bombardier in WWII, Dr. Fraser returned to McGill where he obtained his MD and PhD, and carried out seminal research in teratology and syndromology. Before Dr. Fraser took the stage, genetics and medicine were two very separate fields. There was no vision for the potential of genetics in human medicine. Dr. Fraser soon turned his attention from fruit flies and mice to human genetics. At only 30 years of age, he became the founder of the Department of Medical Genetics at the Montreal Children’s Hospital – the first of its kind in a Canadian paediatric hospital. The department was aptly renamed the F. Clarke Fraser Clinical Genetics Centre at McGill University in 1995.
