Endowed Professorships

Welcome to Penn Medicine’s Endowed Professorship website: a continuously renewed tribute to our faculty, donors, and those honored in perpetuity by professorships established in their name.
An endowed professorship is one of the highest honor that our faculty can receive at Penn Medicine. It also shows the commitment of our donors and their families to our mission of advancing novel research, creating the best patient care opportunities, and building upon our legacy of excellence in medical education.

We hope that you, our Penn Medicine family, will return to this website often. From the personal experiences of donors and their families to the groundbreaking and life-changing advancements made possible by our faculty, students, and staff, each name, photo, and narrative represents a milestone in the University of Pennsylvania's history.

Home of the nation’s first medical school, first hospital, and the oldest university-owned teaching hospital, throughout our history we have produced many of the world’s most accomplished physicians, scientists, and educators. Our creative and distinct educational programs, pioneering scientific discoveries, and the hope for patients that is inspired by Penn Medicine are possible only because of the people who make them happen.
