Named Professorships

The Feinberg School of Medicine, like many other medical schools, honors outstanding faculty members by appointing them to named professorships. These professorships are established with an endowment, and the generated interest helps support the faculty member's research or educational activities. Feinberg School named professorships are listed below both by the professorship name and the incumbent's name.
