Oxford University surgical lectures: William Osler and his Legacy to Medicine

Professor David Cranston (Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences, University of Oxford) tells the story of William Osler's life and career.
Sir William Osler was a Canadian physician and one of the four founding professors of Johns Hopkins Hospital. Osler created the first residency programme for specialty training of physicians, and he was the first to bring medical students out of the lecture hall for bedside clinical training. He has frequently been described as the "Father of Modern Medicine" and one of the "greatest diagnosticians ever to wield a stethoscope".
The Surgical Grand Rounds lecture series, hosted by the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences, is the key educational meeting for consultants, juniors and medical students. Presentations revolve around clinical cases.
