Sad tale of the Toronto Academy of Medicine

The Toronto Academy of Medicine exists as a "shell" in a storage room at SUNNYBROOK Hospital in North Toronto. There is money deposited from the sale of the 288 Bloor building, the interest is used for a free yearly dinner lecture meeting at the VAUGHAN ESTATE donated to Sunnybrook Hospital. The acting President is Ophthalmologist John FOWLER MD(Tor.1958) FRCSC(1972) of 199 Golfdale road, Toronto M4N 2B7.Te:416- 483-5106.. The Academy has lost its Charitable status. There is no yearly AGM. .Recently Dr.Fowler commissioned Academy ties in Blue & Red. With support from the profession & industry, the Academy could be restored to its former important role in Toronto Medicine.

The resurrection of the Toronto Academy of Medicine.

Those interested in restoring the dignity of Toronto medicine and establishing a MEDICAL LIBRARY are invited to to comment on this web.

The Ontario Medical Association library is limited to Health Administration. The OMA is directed by mainly non-Toronto MDs.

At present there is little MEDICAL social connection between Toronto specialists and GPs. .
