Dr. Timothy J. Brennan named the
Dr. Samir D. Gergis Professor of Anesthesia

Timothy J. Brennan, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Anesthesia and Pharmacology, Vice Chair for Research in Anesthesia, has been named the Dr. Samir D. Gergis Professor of Anesthesia. A gift of $1 million from the estate of Samir D. “Sam” Gergis, M.D., who died in April 2005 at the age of 71, and was a longtime faculty member in Anesthesia, established the first endowed professorship in the Department.

Michael M. Todd, M.D., the head of the Department of Anesthesia, upon initial notification of the generous gift from Dr. Gergis, stated “The Gergis Professorship will significantly advance Iowa’s already excellent reputation for anesthesia scholarship and education. It is especially meaningful for us to have a professorship in our department named for our [former] colleague and good friend, Sam Gergis, and it is appropriate that our first endowed professorship would be established by such an esteemed leader. We are extremely grateful for Dr. Gergis’ generosity.”
