Please join us for this Osler Day-related event as the finalists from The Pam and Rolando Del Maestro Family William Osler Medical Student Essay Awards will deliver their presentations.

Our special thanks to Pam and Rolando Del Maestro, the Medical Students’ Osler Society, and the Board of Curators of the Osler Library.

Current and incoming medical students at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ are invited to explore the historical, social, ethical, and humanistic side of their field thanks to an essay contest established by the Medical Students’ Osler Society and the Board of Curators of the Osler Library of the History of Medicine and endowed through a generous gift by Pam and Rolando Del Maestro.

The essay contest gives current and newly enrolling ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ medical students the opportunity to explore any theme of interest to them in the history, social studies, sociology, ethics, and humanities of the health sciences. It also provides them with the chance to be mentored by an expert in their topic drawn from the Library’s Board of Curators or elsewhere to complete their project, and to use the rich resources of the Osler Library and other libraries at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ. Essays can be submitted and presented in French or English.

Three finalists will be chosen and will present their essays on Osler Day. Prizes will be given of $250 for third place, $500 for second place, and $1,000 for the winning essay. The top essays are typically published on the library website, though we may agree to postpone this for winners who are preparing their essays for publication.
