The Heritage
The Osler Banquet is the signature event of the McGill Osler Society, bringing together the medical community since 1921. This prestigious celebration honors the legacy of Sir William Osler.
Each year, the banquet features distinguished speakers from around the world, addressing topics that bridge medicine, humanities, and the social sciences. The event provides a unique opportunity for medical students, faculty members, and alumni to engage in meaningful discourse and celebrate the humanistic side of medicine.
From humble beginnings in the early 1920s to our present-day celebrations, the Osler Banquet has grown to become one of the most anticipated events in the McGill medical community calendar. It continues to embody Sir William Osler's belief that “the practice of medicine is an art, not a trade; a calling, not a business.”
