Kergin Lecturers
The Kergin Lecture is named in the memory of Frederick Gordon Kergin, who was Chair of the Department of Surgery of the University of Toronto and Surgeon-in-Chief of the Toronto General Hospital from 1957 to 1966. He was a pioneer of thoracic surgery in Canada and was President of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery. In 1966 he was appointed Associate Dean in the Faculty of Medicine and was responsible for developing a new undergraduate curriculum and planning the conversion of Sunnybrook Hospital to a teaching institution with full-time faculty. Dr. Kergin chaired the editorial board of the Canadian Journal of Surgery for many years and served as a trustee of the R.S. McLaughlin Foundation. His major contribution to this hospital and the University was in education, particularly in structuring the residency programs such that an integrated program amongst all fully hospitals was established. He died in 1974. Professor Kergin was a man with eclectic interests that included teaching, research and university administration, as well as many outside-of-medicine.
