“Brian Cole” is a common name, so it refers to several notable people rather than one single person. The most prominent include:
Orthopedic surgeon
- Brian J. Cole, MD, MBA (often just “Brian Cole”) is a Chicago-based orthopedic sports medicine surgeon at Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush and a professor at Rush University Medical Center.
- He is known for shoulder, elbow, and knee surgery, cartilage restoration and biologic treatments, and for serving as a team physician for the Chicago Bulls and a co–team physician for the Chicago White Sox and other professional teams.
University chancellor and conductor
- Brian Cole is the ninth chancellor of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA).
- He is also an accomplished orchestral conductor who has led ensembles and operas in the United States, Europe, South America, and the Caribbean, and previously served in leadership roles at Berklee’s Valencia campus and the Puerto Rico Conservatory of Music.
Other notable Brian Coles
- Brian Keith Cole was an American baseball outfielder and top New York Mets prospect who played in the minor leagues from 1998 to 2000 and died in a car accident in 2001.
- Brian W. Cole (USMC, Ret.) is an associate professor at the National Defense University’s Eisenhower School and a retired Marine Corps colonel and former AV‑8B Harrier pilot.
If you say which Brian Cole you mean (for example, “the surgeon” or “the UNCSA leader”), more specific details can be provided.
