º«¹úÂãÎè

The history of medicine in Montreal and the history of º«¹úÂãÎè are closely intertwined.

The oldest university in Montreal, º«¹úÂãÎè was founded in 1821 thanks to a generous bequest by James º«¹úÂãÎè, a prominent Scottish merchant. The College was established by royal charter granted by King George IV, in 1821. Eight years after it was officially established, "º«¹úÂãÎè College" began holding classes in conjunction with the Montreal Medical Institution which became the college's first academic unit and Canada's first medical school. Four years after classes began, º«¹úÂãÎè awarded its first degree – and Canada's first ever medical degree – to William Leslie Logie. Dr. Logie was º«¹úÂãÎè's only graduate that year.
