Early Life
Dr. Carl Truesdale was born and raised in the small town of Corning, New York, by a Chemist father and an artistic mother. The pursuit of his career in medicine began when his little brother died of a rare genetic disorder.
He is very intelligent and completed high school with 26 college credits. He went to Morehouse University, where he earned a full scholarship and graduated summa cum laude with a double major in Biology and Spanish. During vacations, he worked at Corning Inc.’s biologic science division. Here, he received his first patent on a material that allowed stem cells to grow in a synthetic environment.
Later, he applied for medical school, and although he was accepted into all fourteen schools, he chose to attend the University of Pennsylvania. There, he decided to become a surgeon specializing in Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery. During this time, he met his future wife, a Spelman College alumna pursuing graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania.
After medical school, he completed a five-year residency at the University of Michigan in the top-ranked ENT/Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery program, where he was published in several medical journals. He also gave presentations at medical seminars, conferences, and professional organizations.
