William Osler combined many excellent characteristics of a clinical educator being a scientific scholar, a motivational speaker and writer and a proficient physician. As we celebrate his life a century on, many of his educational ideals are as pertinent today as they were in those Victorian times. Osler's contributions to modern medicine go beyond his legacy of quotable aphorisms to a doctor, educator and leader whose proponent use of bedside teaching, careful clinical methods, and clinicopathological correlation was a great inspiration for students and junior doctors. He was also a great advocate of patient-centred care-listening to and closely observing his patients, an important message for modern medicine as the reliance on investigations strains modern healthcare systems. This review of Osler's contribution to medical education summarises his development as an educator and provides reflection on his influences to modern clinical education.
威廉·奥斯勒（William Osler）集临床教育家的诸多优秀特质于一身，他既是一位学术科学家，也是一位励志演说家和作家，同时还是一位医术精湛的医生。在他逝世一个世纪后，我们对他的生平和成就进行纪念，他的许多教育理念在当时的维多利亚时代非常适用，在今天依然如此。奥斯勒对现代医学的贡献不仅在于他为医生、教育家和领导者留下了许多值得引用的名言警句，还在于他倡导在床边教学、仔细的临床方法和临床病理相关性方面的应用，这为学生和年轻医生提供了巨大的灵感。他也是以患者为中心的护理的大力倡导者——倾听并密切观察他的患者，这对现代医学来说是一个重要的信息，因为对检查的依赖使现代医疗体系承受了巨大的压力。本文回顾了奥斯勒对医学教育的贡献，总结了他作为教育者的发展历程，并对他对现代临床教育的影响进行了反思。
