EMMET A. McCUSKER, M.D., C. M.
 


	The medical profession of Regina has in Dr. Emmet A. McCusker a
young physician and surgeon who is well qualified by education and
experience to take a leading place as a specialist in diseases of the eye,
ear, nose and throat.  The son of Daniel and Margaret (Allison) Mc-
Cusker, he was born in Alfred, Ontario, in 1889.  His education, begun
in the public schools of his native province, was continued in the Grattan
School and the Collegiate Institute of Regina, following which he took a
medical course in McGill University at Montreal, from which he obtained
his M. D., C. M. degrees in 1916. Meanwhile the young medical student
had been in the Canadian army and had seen service overseas in the Great
war.  Enlisting as a private in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces in
1915, he went to France with his unit and there remained for about a
year. In 1916 he came home to complete his medical course, reenlisting
immediately after his graduation as a captain in the Canadian Army
Medical Corps and returning to France for active duty as medical officer
for the Twenty-first Battalion Infantry.  He was awarded the Military
Cross at Hill No.70 in 1917, and in the following year was wounded at
Villers Breteneau. Upon his return to Canada at the close of the war,
Dr. McCusker entered the Royal Victoria Hospital at Montreal to take a
two-year postgraduate course in eye, ear, nose and throat work, and
following this for eighteen months was resident surgeon in the Knapp
Memorial Eye Hospital in New York city.  He rounded out his special
training with a year of postgraduate work in Europe before locating in
Regina to practice his profession. In September of 1922 he opened an
office in the McCallum Hill building and has since been devoting himself
exclusively to his work. There are few young men in his profession who
have had the advantages in the way of special study and experience that
Dr. McCusker has enjoyed.
	Dr. McCusker is a member of the Knights of Columbus, which indi-
cates that in religion he is of the Roman Catholic faith.  He is an en-
thusiastic Rotarian, while his memberships in the Assiniboia and Was-
cana Country Clubs, the Canadian Club and the Boat Club, give the
reader a clew to the trend of his recreational activities.  He has been
well received socially and professionally in the city which was his boy-
hood home and may confidently look forward to a long and successful
career in his chosen line of work.
