Together, we can achieve extraordinary outcomes and make a lasting impact on the world.
You can support the work of Duke Dermatology by making a gift to the following funds:
Blum Lectureship
Established in honor of Fred Blum, MD, and his commitment to learning and dermatology, the Department established the Fred Blum Lectureship in Dermatology.
The Cal Club
Dr. J. Lamar Callaway completed 50 years of service at Duke on July 1, 1987, and upon his retirement, the department established the Callaway Club. The club functions both as a donor organization, devoted to maintaining the excellence of dermatology at Duke, and as a means of fostering fellowship among former and current residents and faculty.
The Callaway Chair
One of the greatest honors that a university can bestow is the establishment of a named professorship. A chair represents recognition of an individual’s unique personal and professional contributions and affirmation that the institution will carry on these ideals by appointing worthy holders of the chair. The income from Callaway chair is used to support the J. Lamar Callaway Professor of Dermatology.
The Callaway Fund
The Callaway Fund is an endowment fund with income used to enable the Department of Dermatology to maintain the excellence achieved under Dr. Callaway. Faced with diminishing sources of funding, it becomes increasingly imperative to guard against stagnation. The fund allows us to keep at the forefront of technological advances in equipment vital for patient care and teaching. It helps support resident research activities, including travel to present their research at national meetings and enhances resident education through an active Visiting Professor Program.
Legacy Duke Dermatology Teaching Fund
Because teaching is such an integral part of Duke Dermatology, we have established the Legacy Dermatology Teaching Fund. Distributions from this restricted endowment fund will provide one or more annual awards to faculty members who best display dedication to, and excellence in the teaching of residents, fellows, and others.
