JK Wyatt Urology Research Day

Dr. John (Jack) Kenneth Wyatt completed his undergraduate and medical school training at Western. During his university days he excelled in sports and was captain of the Western football team. His medical school classmates described him as the class prankster.

After completion of residency training Dr. Wyatt began his urological career in 1960 at Victoria Hospital, practicing general urology with a special interest in cancer and reconstructive surgery.  He later went on to serve as Residency Program Director and Division Chair, and aided the building of the Western Urology division into a strong clinical and academic program.

Dr. Wyatt is fondly remembered by alumni for his care in their well being as  residents, and his sharp clinical acumen. He was also a great storyteller with a razor-sharp wit and dry sense of humor.  He is remembered by former patients for his common sense approach, easy-going nature and empathy.

During his career Dr. Wyatt was actively involved in both the Northeastern Section of the American Urological Association and Canadian Urological Association. He served as CUA President in 1984.

Dr. Jack Wyatt passed away in 2004 after a long and distinguished urological  career. We are indebted to his many contributions to Urology in London and beyond. His legacy is celebrated through our annual Research Day.
