CID is a financially independent affiliate of Washington University School of Medicine.

CID at Washington University School of Medicine

An alliance that began as a trusted handshake in 1931 became a formal affiliation in September 2003 when, 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 School of Medicine.

These programs became collectively known as CID at Washington University School of Medicine. The CID school programs and professional outreach activities remain with CID - Central Institute for the Deaf, a financially independent institution.

The CID school shares its campus with CID at Washington University School of Medicine programs in the Harold W. Siebens Center for Research in Hearing and Deafness.
