Editing William Osler (section)

===Career===
Following post-graduate training under [[Rudolf Virchow]] in Germany, Osler returned to the [[McGill University Faculty of Medicine]] as a professor in 1874. There he created the first formal [[journal club]], showed interest in comparative pathology, and is considered the first to have taught [[veterinary pathology]] in North America as part of a broad understanding of disease pathogenesis.  In 1884, he was appointed Chair of Clinical Medicine at the [[University of Pennsylvania]] in [[Philadelphia]] and in 1885, was one of the seven founding members of the [[Association of American Physicians]], a society dedicated to "the advancement of scientific and practical medicine." When he left Philadelphia in 1889, his farewell address, "''Aequanimitas''",<ref>[http://www.medicalarchives.jhmi.edu/osler/aequessay.htm AEQUANIMITAS]. Medicalarchives.jhmi.edu. Retrieved on May 30, 2014.</ref> was about the imperturbability (calm amid storm) and [[equanimity]] (moderated emotion, tolerance) necessary for physicians.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Sokol|first=Daniel|date=2007-11-17|title=Aequanimitas |journal=BMJ: British Medical Journal|volume=335|issue=7628|pages=1049.2–1049|doi=10.1136/bmj.39385.642315.FA|issn=0959-8138|pmc=2078638}}</ref>

In 1889, he became the first Physician-in-Chief of the new [[Johns Hopkins Hospital]] in [[Baltimore, Maryland]]. In 1893, Osler was instrumental in creating the [[Johns Hopkins School of Medicine]] and became one of the school's first professors of medicine. Osler quickly enhanced his reputation as a clinician, humanitarian, and teacher. He presided over the rapidly expanding hospital's first year of operation, when it had 220 beds and 788 patients were seen for a total of over 15,000&nbsp;days of treatment. Sixteen years later, when Osler left for Oxford, over 4,200 patients were seen for a total of nearly 110,000&nbsp;days of treatment.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/medicine/education/hstrainingprogram/overview/hx_jhh.html|title=History of The Johns Hopkins Hospital|last=Fisher|first=Kimberly A|access-date=2017-02-19}}</ref>
