Introduction 2013 is the tercentenary of the death of Sir Patrick Dun. When Dun died in 1713, he left the proceeds of his estate to enhance medical education in Dublin by funding chairs in medicine. He showed remarkable innovation, but it took 95?years, five Acts of Parliament, two House of Commons enquiries and a House of Lords enquiry before Dun’s wishes were brought to fruition and systematic clinical education was available for Dublin medical students. The passage of the final School of Physic Act in 1800 insured that a hospital would open in his name and regular clinical education was provided. The physician, Richard Steevens, who died 3?years earlier in 1710, left the proceeds of his estate to found a hospital, which opened, in his name, in 1733. Materials and methods The contemporary primary sources have been analysed and material from relevant secondary sources has been included where appropriate. Conclusion Dublin was the beneficiary of these bequests and if circumstances had been more favourable, and the proceeds had been used more efficiently at the start of the eighteenth-century, Dublin could well have rivalled Edinburgh as the seat of medical education in the eighteenth century. In the early nineteenth century, it would fulfil that role and equal Edinburgh as one of the primary centres of medical education in Europe.
