Members, Board of Trustees:


       DR. CLAIRE LOUISE CAUDILL PROFESSORSHIP IN FAMILY MEDICINE

Recommendation: that the Board of Trustees authorize the establishment of an endowed
professorship in the College of Medicine Department of Family Medicine entitled the Dr. Claire
Louise Caudill Professorship in Family Medicine.

Background: A family physician in Morehead, Kentucky, for nearly 50 years, Dr. Caudill is the
sister of Lexington philanthropist Lucille Caudill Little. Mrs. Little's foundation, the W. Paul
and Lucille Caudill Little Foundation, will fund the professorship with annual contributions. The
professorship is to be awarded to an outstanding teacher and physician who shares Dr. Caudill's
fervor for the practice of family medicine and her commitment to improving the quality of life
for Kentuckians through community service. The holder of the professorship is to emulate Dr.
Caudill's attributes as a caring family doctor dedicated to providing comprehensive holistic care
that addresses prevention of disease in addition to the treatment of illness. Dr. Caudill received
an honorary doctorate from the University of Kentucky in 1992.
