Colin R. Woolf Awards
Dr. Colin Woolf was one of the first generation of chest physicians in Canada; he came to the University of Toronto after training in both South Africa and in the UK. He pioneered the creation of the Respiratory Failure Unit at the Toronto General Hospital (TGH) in the 1960s, which is now known as the Medical Intensive Care Unit. Dr. Woolf held the position of Head of Respirology at Toronto General Hospital for over a decade.
