LEGACY OF SERVICE:
Carl Mottram moved to Miles City at the age of 10 from Billings Montana and graduated from Custer County High School in 1973. He then received a Music/Drama scholarship to attend Miles Community College. During this time, he was accepted into the MCC Nursing Program but found this was not to be his forte, yet at the same time discovered the field of respiratory care. He completed his Associate of Arts degree at Miles Community College and then enrolled in the Mayo Clinic/Rochester Community College respiratory therapy program. This led to an incredibly successful professional career, highlighted by reaching the academic rank of Associate Professor of Medicine. He is the only individual to achieve this rank without an advanced or doctorate degree in the 150-year history of Mayo Clinic.
Professor Mottram has served on many community and professional boards, including serving as President of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. CLSI is known as the leading standard and guideline organization for all disciplines in laboratory medicine. Professor Mottram was the first non-pathologist or PhD scientist to lead this organization. He also serves on the National Board for Respiratory Care which is responsible for credentialing respiratory care practitioners. Professor Mottram is the author and editor of Ruppel’s Manual of Pulmonary Function Testing which is recognized world-wide as the definitive textbook in the field of pulmonary diagnostics.
