Dr. Lee Todd Miller was honored by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) for his outstanding contributions to academic medicine. The AAMC presented him with its Arnold P. Gold Foundation Humanism in Medicine Award, which recognizes a faculty physician who provides compassionate mentorship and practices patient-centered care.
The award praises Miller, who was chosen by AAMC’s student representatives, for his passion as a respected role model and award-winning teacher in addressing health care disparities at home and abroad. Miller is vice chair of education in pediatrics at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. He also is a director of the school’s global health education program, which he co-founded in 2010.
Miller oversees UCLA’s pediatric medical education programs, with a special interest in medical student/resident counseling and international health. For more than 25 years, he has helped nurture the careers of countless students and residents.
“Dr. Miller’s career is a shining example of what doctors should aspire to,” said Dr. Neil Parker, senior associate dean for medical student affairs. “His work has improved the health of children worldwide and inspired thousands of students who have worked alongside him.”
