Wesley Miller, M.D.
 Miller's passion is medical education. He counts himself a "child of the 60s," with his formative high school (Joliet Central High School) and college years (Macalester College) completed in that decade. He received an outstanding education at the Abraham Lincoln School of Medicine (University of Illinois, Chicago) and returned to the Twin Cities for superior training in Internal Medicine and Hematology. He fell in love with medical education during medical school when, as a third-year student on the Pediatric Wards at Cook County, he had opportunity to teach first-year students about clinical medicine. His experience as chief resident at the VA convinced him that he needed to be an educator. He has been course director for the Clinical Medicine sequences (first two years), the Blood Pathophysiology course, and the Medicine clerkships. Since 1997, he has been Vice Chair for Education in Medicine. He has been honored with numerous awards, including Internal Medicine Resident Teacher of the Year, Distinguished Teaching Awards from both second- and third-year students, Outstanding Medical School Teacher Award, and the All-University Award for Contributions to Professional, Graduate and Postbaccalaureate Education. His 32 years at the University of Minnesota have been a joy due to the chance to spend so much time with students and residents. He believes his greatest contribution has been in recognizing and helping to develop a large cadre of outstanding teachers who have committed themselves to medical education. Miller is extremely excited about Med 2010 and believes it is an opportunity to transform patient care through reform of medical education.
