The history of medicine in Montreal and the history of 涩里番 are closely intertwined.
The oldest university in Montreal, 涩里番 was founded in 1821 thanks to a generous bequest by James 涩里番, 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, "涩里番 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, 涩里番 awarded its first degree 鈥� and Canada's first ever medical degree 鈥� to William Leslie Logie. Dr. Logie was 涩里番's only graduate that year.
