An endowed professorship is one of the highest honors the Department of Medicine can bestow on a faculty member, recognizing our most accomplished scientists and educators. Endowed professorships honor exceptional achievement and assist in the recruitment or retention of the highest quality faculty for the Department of Medicine.<\/p>\n
Established by philanthropic gifts and existing in perpetuity, endowed professorships can support the recipient faculty member\u2019s salary and research-related expenses including graduate students and support staff, travel, and equipment.<\/p>\n
