Bill Cochrane and the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame

On April 13, 2010 the 12th Induction Ceremony and dinner of The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame took place at Calgary. It was the first time that this prestigious event was ever held in this city, and one of the six inductees honored at the ceremony was Dr. William A. Cochrane, OC, AOE.  He was the founding Dean of the Medical Faculty, when the medical school opened in 1970.

  
The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame in London, ON has further produced an Alberta Medical Heritage video, which features the history of the two medical schools in this province as well as the larger history of medicine in Alberta. 
 
Deans from the Faculty of Medicine spanning four decades gathered for an intimate lecture on Friday, October-29, 2010 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first medical school class admitted into the Faculty. The room was filled as more than one hundred alumni, current faculty and students came together to listen to the speakers tell anecdotes, recall challenges and comment on the future growth of the school.
