An alliance that began as a trusted handshake in 1931 became a formal affiliation in September 2003. After decades working together, Washington University School of Medicine entered into an historic agreement with CID – Central Institute for the Deaf.
This new affiliation formally transferred CID’s graduate training program (PACS – Program in Audiology and Communication Sciences), hearing research programs and adult audiology clinic, along with its state-of-the art, 66,000-square-foot campus and research facilities, into the Washington University School of Medicine Department of Otolaryngology. The CID school, early intervention and professional development programs remained with CID, a financially independent institution.
CID’s fiscal year runs from September 1 through August 31.
