Osleriana – A Medical Humanities Journal-Magazine
Osleriana is the official publication of the William Osler Society of Australia and New Zealand (WOSANZ est. 2019). Produced annually, the publication includes both full-length journal-style articles covering a broad range of historical medical subjects, and much shorter magazine-like entries summarising activities of topical interest to the Society. Contributions to each volume are generally chosen by the editors, although we are open to considering submissions from elected Members and Friends. Successive volumes of Osleriana will be freely available for viewing online, and a limited number of hardcopy printouts of each volume will also be produced. Please contact the Society directly regarding any prospective submissions or contributions.
Permission to re-use any material in this publication must be sought from the editors (or alternatively the appropriate copyright holders).
