The Regius Professorship of Physic is one of the oldest professorships at the University of Cambridge, founded by Henry VIII in 1540. "Physic" is an old word for medicine (and the root of the word 'physician'): it does not refer to the study of physics. The Regius Professor of Physic is ex officio head of the School of Clinical Medicine at the University.
