• Innovation • Integrity • Impact History:
In the fall of 1944 with the cooperation of the Illinois Masonic Hospital, the Cook County Graduate School of Medicine, and the Institute of Medicine of Chicago, Maurice Cottle, M.D. presented a series of lectures, as well as surgical and anatomical demonstrations to the otolaryngologists of the Chicago area. Shortly later, Dr. Cottle developed a more formal course that attracted specialists from many parts of the United States. Dr. Samuel Foman led this early effort, which was a continuation of his pioneering teaching program started in Boston and New York some time previously.
