Distinguished Professorships - Process Governance
A Distinguished Professorship is the highest honor Duke University may bestow upon a faculty member. The School of Medicine process for selecting candidates for Distinguished Professorships is guided by the Duke Faculty Handbook, Chapter 4, Professional Affairs of the Faculty, approved May 2023, and the document entitled “Rules for Revised Distinguished Professor Selection Process,” approved December 2018, available from the Faculty Procedures Manual (first inset on the Distinguished Professorships page).
