Osler House Boat Club
Osler House Boat Club is one of the 36 "College" boat clubs of Oxford University. Whilst all of the other college clubs represent 1 or more college or permanent private hall, Osler House is unique in being open purely to members of the university's clinical medical school [1]. It is named after Osler House - the clinical medics club (Similar to a college JCR or MCR)

Foundation
Osler House Boat Club was founded in 1839, racing independently as a clinical medics club, before merging with Green College after its foundation in 1979. Green College was set up as a college for graduate medical students and students in related areas, and had 50% of its students involved in the medical field (clinical or academic) before its merger with Templeton college to form Green Templeton College, in 2008 [2].
In 2008, the newly formed Green Templeton college formed its own boat club [3], leaving Osler House once again competing as an independent entity. Osler House still maintains the BR boat code "OSG" as a nod to its history [4].
This independent club continued being active in collegiate racing until 2012 [5]. Since then it has been largely dormant, bar entering one event each year to maintain affiliation to OURCs.
