Gerald S. Laros Memorial Lectureship
Gerald S. Laros, M.D. died suddenly on
September 20, 1992 in Durham, North Carolina at the age of 62.
His premature death was a tremendous loss to the field of
orthopaedic surgery and deeply saddened those of us who had the
privilege of working with him and knowing him as a friend.
Since Dr. Laros made such valuable
contributions to the Section of Orthopaedic Surgery and
Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Chicago during his
years as Professor and Chief of the Section, we established a
resident library as a permanent memorial to his life and work.
All of us who were acquainted with Dr.
Laros knew how much he loved teaching and how concerned he was
for his students, residents, and faculty. We felt that the best
tribute to him would be one that commemorated his commitment to
education. By establishing the Laros Library we have continued
his commitment to education and to advancing the educational
mission of the Section of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation
Medicine.
Two years after his death we established
the Annual Gerald S. Laros Memorial Visiting Professor. We have
a distinguished list of past participants.
