“To study medicine without books is to sail an uncharted sea; while to study medicine only from books is not to go to sea at all.”
William Osler
Osler created the first residency program 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”.
In 1892, he published his most famous work, Principles and Practice of Medicine.
