Your gift to the School of Medicine will help establish 75 chairs and professorships. The highest honors in academic medicine, these endowed positions will help Emory compete for eminent faculty who will teach tomorrow’s physician leaders, discover cures, and provide the best care for patients.
Your support of general and disease-specific research will help “seed” new ideas, providing start-up funds to develop novel approaches to complex medical problems and bridge funding in a time of shrinking federal research dollars.
Your investment in new buildings will facilitate understanding of disease mechanisms with the goal of bringing discoveries to patients quickly. New building designs will encourage collaboration by breaking down walls and bringing together disease-specific teams to share their ideas. Advanced facilities will draw the best researchers to Emory and attract partnerships with complementary institutions.
Scholarships attract the highest achievers who could not otherwise afford a medical education of Emory’s caliber. Currently many medical students graduate with high debt and choose specialties based on income rather than personal interest. Your support of education through scholarships or the Dean’s Fund will pave the way for new teachers, medical leaders, and researchers who will train future caregivers, reshape health care policy, and make discoveries that can transform health and healing.
Ongoing annual gifts provide critical, flexible support that allows the dean to invest in strategic priorities throughout the year. Because they are pooled with many gifts from dedicated alumni and friends, annual gifts have great impact in addressing immediate needs.
