Endowed Professorships at Children’s National

Advancing Pediatric Research and Care

Endowed professorships represent the highest honor in academic medicine. They represent the enduring generosity of philanthropic donors. Each professorship offers a platform to drive discoveries and foster clinical innovation. This results in healthier futures for children worldwide. 

Children’s National recruits and retains top leaders in each field through the power of professorships. Endowments generate income for professors to build teams and pursue bold ideas. We celebrate our professors and our donors. We list each professorship with the holder’s induction year.
