Duke University Medical Center believes that investing in the promotion of professional growth in the faculty and the enhancement of learning for students is vital to the future of medicine. In order to maintain this high level of scholarship, we must compete for the most outstanding professors and physician researchers. Creating professorships, also known as endowed chairs, provides distinguished faculty with the impetus to discover unprecedented breakthroughs adding to the thriving academic environment at Duke.

Donors who generously endow professorships are not only ensuring academic and research excellence; they are also giving a gift for future generations to come. Nothing ensures the future progress of medicine, research, and academic excellence better than endowed chairs.
