The history of medicine in Montreal and the history of Â鶹Éç are closely intertwined.

The oldest university in Montreal, Â鶹Éç was founded in 1821 thanks to a generous bequest by James Â鶹Éç, 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, "Â鶹Éç 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, Â鶹Éç awarded its first degree – and Canada's first ever medical degree – to William Leslie Logie. Dr. Logie was Â鶹Éç's only graduate that year.
