In Memory of Amanda Joelle Posner, MD
Supporting an Endowed Professorship in Pediatrics at UCSF
To honor Amanda's lasting impact, her family is establishing an Endowed Professorship in the Division of General Pediatrics at UCSF. In lieu of flowers and gifts, please consider making a donation towards the Amanda Joelle Posner, MD, Endowed Professorship in Pediatrics to celebrate Amanda's love of caring for pediatric patients and continue her legacy in perpetuity.
“UCSF played an enormous role in our lives. Amanda was training at UCSF when we first met. It’s where she cared for countless patients as a pediatrician, and where our beloved son Drew came into the world. UCSF is also where Amanda received the medical care that gave us ten more beautiful years together. Supporting this professorship is a way to ensure that Amanda’s legacy of compassionate care, empathy, and selflessness continues to benefit children and families for generations.”

What is an Endowed Professorship?
An endowed professorship is one of the highest honors a university can bestow on a faculty member. It provides permanent funding to recruit and retain exceptional physician-leaders, support innovative clinical programs, train future pediatricians, and advance the kind of compassionate care Amanda exemplified.
Unlike a traditional gift, an endowed professorship is a permanent fund — the principal is invested, and only the annual income is used. This means your gift will support UCSF’s Division of General Pediatrics in perpetuity, allowing Amanda’s name and values to live on in the work of future physicians. Establishing an endowed professorship requires a significant philanthropic investment. Your support honors Amanda’s legacy and enhances the impact the endowed professorship will have.
