The Osler Club of London was founded in 1928 (the year of Lady Osler's death) to encourage the study of the history of medicine, and to keep fresh the memory of Sir William Osler (born July 12th, 1849; died December 29th, 1919).

The members of the Club, either medical or those engaged in some activity related to medicine, are devoted to the humanistic approach to medicine, as exemplified in the life and works of Sir William Osler.

Membership of the Osler Club is open to medical men and women, medical students, and persons associated with the history of medicine and in allied sciences.

Applications for membership should furnish the Honorary Secretary or other Members of Council, with details regarding their profession, their medical school, degrees and other awards, their association with medicine or allied sciences and details of publications.

A candidate must be proposed and seconded by Club members who will submit his or her name to the Council for election. A candidate not knowing any members personally should apply to a member for an invitation to attend one meeting.

The annual subscription is £20.00 payable after election (£5.00 for undergraduates).
