DAL ORIGINALS

Few people have had more impact on Dalhousie’s medical education than Thomas “Jock” Murray (1938-present). An accomplished physician, researcher and internationally renowned Multiple Sclerosis expert, Dr. Murray revitalized how medicine is taught at the Maritimes’ medical school and created Dal’s world-renowned Medical Humanities program.
