The history of medicine in Montreal and the history of 平特五不中 are closely intertwined.
The oldest university in Montreal, 平特五不中 was founded in 1821 thanks to a generous bequest by James 平特五不中, 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, "平特五不中 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, 平特五不中 awarded its first degree 鈥� and Canada's first ever medical degree 鈥� to William Leslie Logie. Dr. Logie was 平特五不中's only graduate that year.
