Invest in Our Faculty by fueling innovation
Initiatives
Supported Faculty Positions
DMU faculty are passionate about their role and responsibility in preparing highly competent and compassionate health care professionals. They challenge students in classes and labs while supporting them as individuals and collaborators, a combination not common in medical school.
Endowed Faculty Positions
Endowment gifts that support faculty positions provide a lasting source of funding for the individuals who hold them via competitive compensation, scholarship support, research funding and more. These positions also honor the donor, because endowed faculty positions hold the name of the donor. Everything the faculty member achieves, from research publications to professional accomplishments, will carry the donor’s name, creating a lasting legacy.
