  • American Osler Society
    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.

  • Childcare Working Group Briefing Paper August 2013 Revised
    Childcare Working Group Briefing Paper August 2013 Revised November 2013 “Currently, I have no childcare and I am missing classes and my grades are reflecting this.” “I couldn’t afford childcare, so my son went to live with my mom.” “I have missed classes while waiting for the daycare centre to open. I would say that the stresses of daycare has caused my marks to fall. I have also dropped classes to work with my daycare schedule.” “I have missed classes … also, I have to drive out of my way (20 minutes) to pick up/drop her off .. this costs me $ in gas and time.” “A few times I had to bring my child to class and am very thankful I had nice professors” “My partner had to lower their course load and periodically takes a term off, as we have no childcare.” “…would help employee retention rates and increase job performance/satisfaction. I fully believe that a lack of access to appropriate childcare could result in the necessity for me to resign from my position at the end of my maternity leave” “it is astonishing that a workplace of this size provides little or no support for parents with children” 1 Summary: The Working Group has identified that there is a shortfall of access to childcare spaces on the Fort Garry, Bannatyne, Thompson and William Norrie campuses. By our very conservative estimates, UM has approximately 3,210 student parents, 3481 continuing/ permanent faculty parents, and 1,101 parents who are members of the staff (continuing/ permanent). For all four campuses, there are 128 spaces in 3 facilities (16 in PlayCare, 60 in Campus Day Care at the Fort Garry campus and 52 in Makoonsag on the Selkirk campus).
