Emeritus Faculty
The department includes the collective contributions of many individuals who over the years have served as members of the faculty and staff. A very special group of faculty with distinguished careers that concluded with retirement have been designated Professor Emeritus by the Emory University Board of Trustees.
Honorary Lecture Series
An annual series of lectures honoring some outstanding emeritus faculty brings major leaders to Emory to provide lectures, seminars, and consultations with the faculty, residents, and fellows:
- The James (Luke) Clements, Jr. Lecture brings outstanding gastrointestinal radiologists to Emory and the Atlanta area to continue the Clements dedication to learning;
- The Dale Cooper Lecture is held in memory of Dr. Cooper, whose career was cut short by an accident, and addresses major topics in neuroradiology;
- The Perry Sprawls Lecture focuses on medical physics and the related sciences; and
- The Heinz Stephen Weens Lecture honors the department's first chairman with a variety of topics of contemporary interest.
