Regius Professor of Medicine and Therapeutics, Glasgow

Regius Professor of Medicine and Therapeutics, Glasgow

The Regius Chair of Medicine and Therapeutics is technically the oldest professorship at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. (Before the establishment of Chairs, teaching was undertaken by 'Regents'.)

It was founded as the Chair of the Practice of Medicine in 1637. After a lapse it was revived in 1712 and endowed by Queen Anne in 1713 (becoming the Regius Chair.) The name of the Chair was changed in 1989.
