Abstract:

Canadian physician Sir William Osler (July 12, 1849, to December 29, 1919) has been considered by many to be the father of modern medicine. His contributions to medicine were formidable, though they have been eclipsed by more recent advances in medical science and technology. Dr Osler's contributions to the humanistic aspects of medicine continue to be of great interest and use to clinicians, however. The author discusses the life of Sir William Osler and the humanistic impact he had in three areas: medical education, patient care, and the concept of professionalism within the field of medicine. Furthermore, the author suggests that many aspects of Dr Osler's wisdom are of particular relevance within the tradition of osteopathic medicine. A discussion of the continued relevance of Oslerian thought to the evolving practice of osteopathic medicine is also provided.
