Carl H. McCaskey, MD - 1877-1960

Carl McCaskey was born In Garrett, a Northeastern Indiana community, in 1877. Dr. McCaskey then attended the Indiana University School of Medicine graduating in 1903, and became interested in the surgical aspects of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology. He joined the faculty of Indiana University School of Medicine, eventually rising to the rank of chairman in 1926. His major clinical interests were in laryngeal carcinoma, and he was instrumental in pursuing excellence in the development of esophagoscopy and bronchoscopy, as wall as laryngoscopy. Dr. McCaskey was quite active in professional organizations, achieving Presidency of the Indiana State Medical Association in 1943 as well as the Marion County Association. He was the founding president of the Indiana Chapter, American College of Surgeons, and held that position for two successive years (1952-53). Dr. McCaskey's strong influence on surgical matters, as well as his leadership in the field of surgery in general make it quite appropriate for his name to be attached to the Specialties Award of the Indiana Chapter, American College of Surgeons.
