William Boyd
Edit ProfileEducation
University of Edinburgh.
Career
He received his medical degree from the University of Edinburgh in 1908, and went on to become trained and accredited as a neurologist, psychiatrist, and pathologist. Boyd worked as an attending physician and nominal pathologist at the Derby County Asylum in the English Midlands from 1909–1912, and at Winwick Hospital (another neuropsychiatric facility) from 1912–1913. He was a pathologist at Wolverhamptom Royal Infirmary from 1913 to August 1914.
During World War I, Boyd served as a general medical officer in the Royal Army Medical Corps in Flanders at the rank of captain (O3).
In 1916 he wrote the book, With a Field Ambulance at Ypres, describing his experiences as both a physician and an ordinary combatant in the war zone. After the conflict, Boyd moved to Canada at the urging of friends from medical school who were already working there.
Boyd became a Professor of Pathology in the Manitoba Medical College at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, and, over the next 22 years, he wrote several pathology textbooks that were published and read internationally. These earned him worldwide recognition and financial security.
In 1937, he moved to the University of Toronto and, ultimately, in 1951 to the University of British Columbia.
Boyd continued to be an active lecturer on medical-pathological topics well into this 80s, and spoke in many different countries. Boyd died of pneumonia at the age of 93 in Toronto.
