Early life and education

Miller was born to parents Rita Ann and Frank Louis Miller in Wheelersburg, Ohio.[1] She attended Ohio State University for her Bachelor of Science degree with the original intent of becoming an engineer. However, after reflecting on a health crisis during her teenage years, she changed her major to pre-med.[2] Miller graduated from Ohio State in 1988 and obtained her medical degree from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1992.[3] She originally intended to return to Ohio and practice cardiology or oncology but chose to remain in Maryland.[4] Miller completed her medical internship and residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital and became an Assistant Chief of Service in 1996.[5]

Career

Miller joined the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine faculty as an Assistant Professor of Medicine in 1997.[5] After earning an MBA from the Johns Hopkins University, she began undertaking administrative roles,[6] including Associate Program Director for the Osler Medical Residency Training Program, Assistant Dean for Student Affairs, and Vice Chair for Clinical Operations in the Department of Medicine.[5] In 2006, she was promoted to associate professor of medicine[7] and was elected to the Board of Governors of the Johns Hopkins Clinical Practice Association.[8]

The day after giving birth to her second child via C-section in 2009, she was informed that she was a finalist for the position of vice president of medical affairs and was asked to come in for multiple interviews over three days.[9] She was officially granted the position and was appointed to it on July 1, 2009[10] and was succeeded by Sarah Clever as Assistant Dean for Student Affairs.[11] In 2015, Miller was appointed to the position of senior vice president for medical affairs for the Johns Hopkins Health System.[12] The following year, she became the first women president of Johns Hopkins Hospital.[6] In this role, she organized the creation of care-coordination bundles, reduced the prescriptions of opioids, oversaw the launch of a high-value care committee, and advanced policies to promote more gender diversity.[13]

In October 2020, Miller was elected a Member of the National Academy of Medicine.[14]

Personal life

Miller and her husband, pulmonologist Albert Polito, have two daughters together.[15]
