Drago Perović

Drago Perović (20 September 1888 – 6 January 1968) was a Croatian doctor who served as a professor of anatomy and as rector at the University of Zagreb.

He established an influential school of osteology dealing particularly with the ear, nose and throat.

Perović was born in Gorica near Trebinje and went to school in Mostar where one of his teachers was the poet Jovan Dučić.

In 1917 he became chair of anatomy at the newly established faculty of medicine at the University of Zagreb, working there until his retirement.
