Educated in the public schools of Nova Scotia; Truro Normal School, Nova Scotia, 1885; Mount Alliston University, New Brunswick, 1891; Dalhousie University, 1894, and Jefferson Medical School, Philadelphia, which granted him the degree of Doctor of Medicine and Surgery in 1896, Dr. Wood practised medicine at River Hebert, Nova Scotia, from 1896 to 1898, when he came to Hawaii. He served as government physician at Koolaupoko and at Waialua for a year before he accepted his present position of physician and surgeon for the Waialua plantation. Dr. Wood has kept in touch with the latest developments in medicine by graduate work at the Polyclinic, New York, in 1906 and 1911, and with courses at the New York Post-Graduate Medical School in 1921. Born at River Hebert, Cumberland county, Nova Scotia, Aug. 4, 1866, he is the son of Alexander Blair and Margaret Jane (Fullerton) Wood. He was president of the Hawaii Medical Association in 1919, is a member of the University Club of Honolulu and an active Mason and Shriner.
