The Peter Munt Lectureship
Dr. Peter Munt was the Founder and Chair of the Division of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. Dr. Munt was instrumental in the development of many changes to the postgraduate training program. He also held the position of director of the sleep laboratory and, in 1993, was appointed chair of the Department of Medicine. He remained in that position until 2001.
The generous donations of Mrs. Elizabeth Munt and her son Andy have made this lectureship series possible enabling the Department of Medicine to bring a distinguished speaker to Queen's each year.
