Here are some examples of how philanthropy can be used to help our missions of research, education, and clinical care.

Named Endowed Professorships

Endowed professorships are the highest honor Yale School of Medicine can bestow upon a faculty member who is distinguished as a leader in medicine. Funding from endowed professorships provide secure, flexible support for a distinguished faculty member’s research and scholarly activities. A professorship can be named for a donor or a loved one creating an enduring tribute to individual generosity.

Named Endowed Lectureships

Lecture series play an important role in our academic life at Yale School of Medicine. A named endowed lectureship ensures that the department of urology will have a perpetual financial stream to support scholarly lectures by distinguished leaders in a particular specialty.

Research

The Department of Urology is committed to improving patient outcomes. It is important that we continue our deep commitment to research where we continue to be a leader. Please contact Laura Wyrick at 203-436-8540 to learn more about supporting research at Yale Urology.
