Date: Saturday, May 13, 2023 Pete Fowler's distinguished career as an international leader in orthopaedic sport medicine earned him acclaim as a clinician, researcher, educator, and team builder. He was the Founder and Medical Director of the Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic at Western University in London, Canada from 1982 until his retirement in 2007. He worked tirelessly to form a collaborative and integrated team of experts and disciplines. Throughout his career Pete's primary interest was the management and prevention of activity related injuries of the knee. His colleagues remember him for his honesty, integrity, strength and passion for the advancement and care of patient outcomes. Throughout his career at the FKSMC Pete taught more than 77 Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Fellows from around the world. This international collection of now renowned medical leaders call themselves the Fowler Fellows. Pete held leadership positions in numerous international and national professional societies. Among these: first President of the International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine; President of the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine and President of the Canadian Academy of Sports Medicine. Pete’s life was bold, colourful and impactful. It was shaped but the belief that through the power of sport and medicine Western, London and Canada deserved a prominent place on the world stage. He did his best to make that happen. Pete is lovingly remembered by his wife Libby, his children: Tim (Jacquie), Meg, Cameron (Tori) and Peter; and his six grandchildren: Maddie, Ryley, Grace, Henry, Max and Poppy, each of whom called him Doccie.
