The Medical College of Wisconsin traces its roots to 1893 with the founding of the Wisconsin College of Physicians and Surgeons. In 1913, the Wisconsin College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Milwaukee Medical College merged to become the Marquette University School of Medicine. In 1967, Marquette University relinquished its sponsorship of the medical school. The school then continued as a private, freestanding, national institution, and in 1970 changed its name to the Medical College of Wisconsin.
The Department of Otolaryngology and Communication Sciences of the Medical College of Wisconsin gained departmental status in July 1998. Prior to that date, it had been a Division within the Department of Surgery.
