The Harvey Club of London is the oldest currently active medical club in Canada.[1] It was founded by Drs. James W. Crane and C.M. Crawford in 1919 in London, Ontario.[1] The club was initially founded as a way for practicing physicians to stay abreast of new developments in biomedical sciences, analogous to the modern concept of continuing medical education, a function that it continues to perform with annual presentations of papers. The club also provides academic and financial support to students at the medical school of Western University.[2]
