The American Osler Society
The American Osler Society was organized in 1970. The first meeting was held in Denver in 1971 with nine of the original 30 members present many of whom had personal ties to William Osler. The original goal of the Society was to keep alive the memory of Willam Osler, “a great and wise physician.” As the organization has grown and matured, so has its purpose, which is now to preserve and promote the lessons found in the life and teachings of William Osler. These lessons include respect for the history and humanity of medicine and the personal equanimity to bear success with humility, sorrow with courage and affection without pride. The motto of the American Osler Society is “Litterae, Scientia, Praxis, et Integritas:” Literature, Science, Action, and Integrity.
