Sir William Osler, 1st Baronet was born on July 12, 1849 in Bond Head, Canada West (now Ontario), and raised after 1857 in Dundas, Ontario. He has been a doyen in medicine and is often referred to as the Father of Modern Medicine (but Osler believed that Avicenna should hold this honor).

Apart from being an astute clinician and teacher, he is also widely known as historian, classicist, essayist, conversationalist, organizer, manager and author.
