Moving Academic Medicine Forward:
A Conference in Honor of Edward D. Miller

June 11, 2012, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine

Moving Academic Medicine Forward was an opportunity to look back and recognize Miller's extraordinary accomplishments during his 15 years as Dean of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and CEO of Johns Hopkins Medicine, and to look forward and consider the future of academic medicine.

Academic medicine was in a period of change in 1997, the year Miller was appointed Dean/CEO. Miller was considered the perfect choice to lead the initiative that would unite the school of medicine and the health system under a single strategic vision. Read Provost Lloyd B. Minor’s leadership column in Change.
