In a society where health care providers and patients often feel caught a vast industrial bureaucracy and struggle to connect, TMC sees opportunity. Caring for the sick is a fundamentally Christian act, so TMC invests deeply in clinicians who can serve as leaven from inside the system, nudging clinical care toward practices that reflect Jesus’ way of healing. Through in-depth theological formational programs, fellowship, public events, and lectures, we build collaborations among Duke Health practitioners and faith communities that reimagine how Duke might pioneer new approaches to caring for North Carolina’s most marginalized citizens.

You can help TMC demonstrate that Christian faith is still relevant for health care. Named endowments and scholarship opportunities are available. 

Duke Divinity is widely considered one of the top mainline schools of theological education. A crucial factor: our distinguished faculty, who offer a breadth of expertise unrivaled by any of our peers. The key to maintaining this level of excellence—especially as many of our beloved faculty members near their retirement—is endowed professorships, or “chairs.” These positions carry significant prestige for the faculty member, making them powerful tools for attracting and retaining top-tier talent. Because the endowments are invested, not spent, they also serve as steady sources of income for the school. Earnings are used to support faculty compensation, research, and publishing, alleviating pressure on the school’s operating budget so that it can be spent on other essential programs that benefit students’ vocational formation. 

You can help Duke Divinity recruit and retain outstanding talent. Named professorships are available at every level, from postdoctoral fellow to dean.
