Giving Opportunities in the Department of Medicine
I believe that medicine is at one of those inflection points, where we have the opportunity to take a great leap forward. That great leap will bring together molecular science and genetics, basic research and clinical practice, and the latest technologies for collecting and analyzing patient information in order to move us toward an era of more targeted, personalized medicine. That can only be done at large medical centers with collaborative, forward-thinking leaders who are willing to take risks and invest in paradigm-shifting ideas. This is that place.
We rely on friends, including philanthropists and foundations, to support our biomedical research. Thanks to our generous donors, we have 37 Endowed Chairs in the Department of Medicine. Faculty also hold 16 Endowed Chair positions managed externally, allowing us to explore new treatments for widespread diseases.
Giving Opportunities
Our donors' generosity empowers us to enhance patient care, lead in medical education, and advance research. With over 1,000 regular faculty, including 187 PhDs and 740 MDs, along with 176 residents and 132 fellows, we're the largest department in the School of Medicine. Seven of our divisions are nationally ranked by the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals Guide.
