After graduating from high school (1971) and the University of Notre Dame (1975), he completed his medical degree at the IU Medical School in 1979. Dr. Madden practiced emergency medicine for 30 years. In addition to his gift for helping others in need, Dr. Tom had a real passion for Roncalli High School and its Performing Arts, as all three of his children, Erin R’02, Lauren R’05, and Austin R’10 participated in countless plays, musicals, show choir competitions, and productions. Tom’s wife, Terri, established this scholarship with the assistance of their children in February 2013.
